The list of top 10 earners in the Saudi Professional League has been revealed.

Former Manchester United and Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo became the first big name to move to Saudi Arabia after he signed for Al Nassr in January 2023.

Since then, clubs in the Saudi Professional League have been splashing the cash in a bid to lure some of Europe’s best players to the Middle East.

Last summer, the likes of Karim Benzema, Neymar, N’Golo Kante, Roberto Firmino, Fabinho and Ruben Neves all signed for Saudi Arabian clubs.

It has been widely reported that the Saudi Arabian clubs managed to lure players away from European football due to their far superior financial power.
