the essentials in brief
Neymar (31) praised the Saudi league at a press conference in his homeland. The Brazilian puts the desert championship above Ligue 1. Ronaldo (38) also raised eyebrows with his Saudi Arabia statement.
It wasn’t even a month ago when Neymar left the top French club Paris Saint-Germain for Saudi Arabia. However, Neymar has not yet been able to make an exclamation mark in terms of football on the Arabian Peninsula.
The Brazil star is still unable to play after his training injury. Neymar is now completing his first units in his home country with the “Seleção”, which is currently preparing for the World Cup qualifiers.

Neymar fills his mouth quite full
In a previous press conference, the native “Paulistano” (born in São Paulo) had words of praise for the Saudi Pro League.
“Given the names that have moved to the league, it is possible that it is better than Ligue 1.” Neymar told the French newspaper L’Équipe. Oops!
A brief classification: The numbers speak a different language, the market value of Ligue 1 is significantly higher than that of the Saudi Pro-League. Ligue 1 players are worth around 3.52 billion francs. The Saudi league, on the other hand, has an estimated value of around 1.18 billion francs.
Despite purchasing many top players from Europe, the Saudi Pro-League is clearly lagging behind.

After his arrival in Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo also said that the Saudi Pro League would one day be the best. It remains to be seen whether Ronaldo and Neymar are right with their statements.
