The competition is the Saudi pro league has grown intense since Ronaldo’s signing because other top clubs and competitors also made big signings so as to be able to compete with Al Nassr. Winning the SPL title wouldn’t come easy certainly even with the presence of Ronaldo and Sadio Mane, the club needs to recruit and strengthen as well as improve in their on field performances to make it happen.
Mmmm yes and no at the same time, more than grown i can say it have more lights seeing on them, and some other players follow thei way but no so much for Cristiano Ronaldo, more for the route of money.
Competition remains the same for me, with a few good teams full of starts and other being a pure stuffed.
With the arrival of CR7 to the Arab league, it does provide its own appeal that makes this league even better and increasingly eyed by the world. And even in an instant this league became the best league in Asia. In addition, Arab clubs also offer quite high salaries, and this is the main thing that makes many top European players choose to move to the Arab league.
With many quality players moving to the Arab league, of course this makes the competition even tighter, and even for Al Nassr themselves, after the arrival of CR7 and other quality players, they still have not been able to win the title.
Apart from Ronaldo and few others i think most of the players who switched over to the Saudi league went their cause to the huge money the Saudi clubs offer, they know they stand a lot to gain whether they perform well or not, although it's not doubt that ever since several players switched from different European leagues to the Saudi Pro League, a lot has changed, it's made the competition in the league very tough and more clubs are beginning to banter for supremacy asides Al Hilal and Al Nassr that's the two most popular teams in the league. Al Nassr would need for quality players to further strengthen their team if they really want to win the trophy cause they have other strong contenders with quality players across Europe too. Anyways, i love that they're on the verge of extending Ronaldo's contract till 2026, his presence is highly needed as a motivation to his teammates during training and match days.
