So rich! The five highest-paid players in the Saudi League! Ronaldo is the first, who has the best cost-effectiveness?

The Saudi professional league has rewritten the football economy in just a few years, and their big names and higher salaries have attracted much attention.

Let's take a look at the five highest-paid players in Saudi Arabia.

5. Kulibali - 34.7 million

Trophy: 23/24 Saudi champion, 2024 Saudi King's Cup, 2024 Saudi Super Cup, 2024 Saudi Arabia Super Cup, 2024 Kulibali's father worked tirelessly in a textile factory in Senegal, without holidays seven days a week, just to allow his family to live a better life in France.

This also sets the tone for Kulibali, who has had a deep sense of humility since childhood, often taking off his boots and playing barefoot with his cousins.

His brilliant career began in Naples, to Chelsea and Saudi Arabia.

Riyadh Crescent paid a great deal for his leadership and defense, and Kulibaly may be one of the highest-paid players in the professional league, but he also worked on the offer.

4. Mane - 40 million euros

Trophy: Alla crown

Mane performed well at Liverpool, scoring 120 goals in 269 games and winning all major trophies.

However, since leaving Anfield in 2022, the situation has been different. He moved to Riyadh to win after a chaotic season in Bayern Munich.

So far, he has scored 37 goals in 97 games, which is definitely a far cry from the Liverpool period.

However, he is still world-class off the court. He donated millions of dollars to his hometown in Senegal, built schools, hospitals, and funded the monthly salary of his family.

He may not ignite Saudi Arabia, but he is still having a huge impact.

3. Benzema - 50 million euros

Trophy: 24/25 Saudi Champion, 2025 Saudi King's Cup

Benzema came to the Saudi League with the Golden Globe.

In his second season at Jeddah United, Benzema scored 21 goals, leading the team to a double league and cup championship, and ending the dominance of Riyadh Crescent 8 in the process.

Although Benzema is 37 years old, he is still full of motivation.

Benzema's career statistics are shocking: 513 goals were scored in 979 games and more than 200 assists.

2. Mahrez - 52.2 million euros

Trophy: 2025 AFC Champions League

Mahrez is one of the few players to win Premier League championships in two different clubs, winning Premier League championships in Leicester and Manchester City respectively.

Since joining Jeddah Nationals in 2023, Mahrez has added another title, that is, the 2025 AFC Champions League title.

He is now not only one of the greatest players in Algeria, but also one of the highest paid players in football.

1.Royce - 200 million euros

Trophy: Allah crown

C Ronaldo is not only the highest-paid player in the Saudi league, he is also the highest-paid athlete in the world.

His victory with Riyadh is a jaw-dropping deal: 200 million euros per year, 16 private employees, private jet allowances, and a rumored 15% stake in the club.

All of this is to keep Ronaldo!

Ronaldo scored 97 goals in 108 games, and his goal efficiency was still amazing, becoming the best scorer for two consecutive years.

C Ronaldo currently has 938 career goals. If he can maintain such goal efficiency, then the dream of 1,000 goals is likely to come true.

The only regret is that Ronaldo only won the Allah championship in Saudi Arabia, and all other championships failed.
