Recently, "Maca" held an interesting discussion to explore their possible performance in the highly competitive La Liga based on the total market value of the winning players in Riyadh.
Currently, Riyadh Victory's total valuation in the transfer market is 144.14 million euros, ranking fourth in the Saudi league. If this number is put in La Liga, Riyadh victory can rank tenth, between Girona and Celta, who competes in the UEFA Cup this season. This valuation even surpasses teams with a long history or potential such as Sevilla (118.5 million euros), Vallecano (77.4 million euros) and Espanyol (95.4 million euros).
Although many people think that Ronaldo is the most valuable player in the team, considering his age factor, the transfer market only gave him an estimated value of 12 million euros, which prevented him from entering the top three of the team. In fact, former Bayern player Koeman became the most valuable player on the team with €30 million, followed by centre-backs Simakan (€23 million) and Felix (€20 million).
In addition, there are many veterans in the team who have played in the Champions League for many years and can serve as the main force in the La Liga championship team. For example, Inigo Martinez was once the core of Barcelona's defense, Mane was a star in the Premier League, and Brozovic enjoyed a high reputation in Serie A.
Based on these conditions, there is no doubt that Riyadh victory can remain competitive in La Liga. Although there are still questions about whether the veterans can withstand the high-intensity game schedule, with the attention brought by so many familiar faces, they will surely make a lot of waves in Spain.
However, the gap is still significant compared to Real Madrid or Barcelona. The White Army's overall valuation is almost ten times that of Riyadh's victory, and they have superstars like Mbappe or Vinicius whose single player is worth more than the entire Riyadh victory lineup.
However, what really drags down Riyadh's overall strength in victory is as many as 19 players from Saudi Arabia, among which the most valuable full-back Hanham has only 2 million euros. The individual valuations of the other players did not reach the millions, which may be the key to limiting them to go further. It is worth noting that the maximum number of foreign players allowed for registration in each team in the Saudi League is 10.
