How much would these legends go for in Modern Money?

I think original Ronaldo is possibly the greatest ever to play the game. Blighted by injuries but still managed to be at the top every time he recovered. He's priceless in my opinion

Best striker i've ever seen. His career is eerily similar to Muhammad Ali in that there was a 3-4 year break in the middle, with both lightning quick pre break, while post break they still achieved great things despite being much slower (Ronaldo 2002 World Cup golden boot, Ali beating Foreman probably his greatest win). Everything Ronaldo did in his prime was executed to near perfection. The most impressive thing for me was the nimble footwork at his peak. Those tricks he did required speed, but when he came back he was chunky, the ball control wasn't the same while his explosiveness had gone. You only need to look at his record. He played in the two best leagues in the world at the time and tore defences to ribbons.
