The captain of Al Nassr FC, Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, took the opportunity to deliver a message to football stars ahead of the upcoming winter transfer window that opens in January. In statements to the Saudi sports network "SSC" following his team's 4-1 victory against Al Taawoun on Saturday in the 19th round of the Saudi League, Ronaldo said: "I have talked before and said that the Saudi League will be among the top 5 leagues in the world, and now I say that the Roshn League is being watched by everyone in the world."
He added: "The entire world is following the league here, and I advise the elite players of the world to come to the Saudi league and share in the excitement of this competition."
At the age of 38, Ronaldo has become the world’s top scorer in 2023 with 54 goals, two goals ahead of England's Harry Kane from Bayern Munich and France's Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain. Additionally, Ronaldo leads the Saudi League's scoring chart, having reached 20 goals, three goals ahead of his closest rival, Serbian international striker Aleksandar Mitrović from Al Hilal.
