Shortly After Laying Bare Cristiano Ronaldo’s Impact, Saudi League COO Hints Eyeing $22,000,000 World Champion

The Saudi Pro League bagged their marquee signing, Cristiano Ronaldo, in January 2023. Since then, the SPL has seen the influx of some of the best players from Europe’s top 5 leagues join clubs in Saudi Arabia, causing a huge stir in the media and worldwide. Now, a Saudi League COO has named another potential huge signing in a $22 million former 2014 World Cup winner.

Saudi League COO Carlo Nohra mentioned one of Bayern Munich’s most decorated players as a potential target for the SPL in 2024. S let’s dig in to find out who the star prospect is!

Saudi League COO Carlo Nohra eye swoops for Bayern Munich’s Thomas Muller

As reported by renowned soccer journalist Fabrizio Romano on X, the Saudi Pro League is mooting a swift move to secure the services of Bayern Munich and Germany forward Thomas Muller.

According to Romano’s tweet on X, Saudi League COO Carlo Nohra said, “Thomas Müller to Saudi as free agent in 2024? Why not? That would be my answer to you….There’s absolutely no reason why anyone is off the market, anyone that can add value and quality to the league would be welcome”,

Muller’s record for Bayern speaks for itself with 215 goals in 640 games for the German heavyweights with 144 of those goals coming in the Bundesliga and 53 in the UEFA Champions League. He is widely regarded as one of Germany’s most lethal strikers in the country’s history. However, he hasn’t surpassed the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo has nearly three times more international goals as compared to Muller, after netting his 124th and 125th goals for Portugal last night against Slovakia.

Cristiano Ronaldo takes Portugal goals tally to 125 goals

Ronaldo netted twice against Slovakia in Portugal’s 3-2 win in their 2024 Euro qualifier game. The game saw Portugal keep their 100% win record intact as they topped Group J with 7 wins out of 7, receiving 21 points that guaranteed their qualification for the Euros next year.

The current Al Nassr star scored a penalty after Slovakia’s Denis Vavro conceded a penalty. Ronaldo slotted home in fine fashion to score his 124th goal. Subsequently, Ronaldo’s second goal of the night, his 125th goal for Portugal saw him combine with his former Manchester United teammate Bruno Fernandes, whose cross the Al Nassr star turned into the net.

It now surely looks as though it’s mission accomplished for Roberto Martinez’s side with qualification in the bag, as they will look to continue their run of form going into the tournament next year.
