Ronaldo, who is nearing 40 years old, continues to demonstrate exceptional footballing skills. His time with Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia has shown that he can still compete at the top level both for his club and country. However, the passage of time and the impact of playing in a less high-profile league compared to Europeās top competitions have contributed to this decline in market value.
The sharp decline in Ronaldo's market value reflects not only the natural aging process but also the shift in his career trajectory. His market value started at 18 million euros in 2004 when he made his debut with Sporting Lisbon and moved to Manchester United. It soared to 60 million euros when he joined Real Madrid and peaked at 120 million euros during his highly successful time at the Spanish club[1].
