Reports have circulated, sparking another heated discussion surrounding Al-Nassr forward Cristiano Ronaldo. It has been reported that the Portuguese star may intend to boycott the second game in a row due to his dissatisfaction with club management issues.
According to ESPN, Ronaldo is dissatisfied that the Saudi Arabian sovereign fund - PIF - has not expressed a clear and guaranteed position regarding changes in the club's management. That is, it is said that he is waiting for a concrete step and an official guarantee, not a "promise."
The source notes that if the situation is not clarified in the coming weeks and the guarantees demanded by Ronaldo are not provided, it is likely that he will raise the issue of leaving the club in June, even asking for his own departure.
As a reminder, Al-Nasr will face Al-Ittihad in the Saudi league on Friday. The rumors circulating just before this encounter further fueled the fans' interest.
As a reminder, it was previously reported that the 40-year-old Portuguese forward missed the 1-0 victory against Riyadh. It was also stated that he did not participate in post-match training. So, it's not just one meeting - it seems the situation has been going on for several days.
Sources suggest that Ronaldo's main objection is related to PIF's management style. In particular, he is dissatisfied with how management and decisions are being implemented in relation to competitors - especially Al-Hilal. Ronaldo believes that some of the fund's policies are hindering Al-Nassr's real fight for the championship.
For this reason, it is suggested that the Portuguese superstar might consider other options this summer. Reports suggest he is considering the possibility of continuing his career in the MLS or one of the European leagues.
Furthermore, there were previous reports that Ronaldo opposed Karim Benzema's move to Al-Hilal, arguing it would "harm the competition." This data also shows that he takes the issue of "equal competition" in the Saudi league very seriously.
In short, the situation at "An-Nasr" is not yet peaceful. Ronaldo's next move, especially his appearance against Al-Ittihad, will undoubtedly affect the mood not only at the club but throughout the league. And the fans know one thing well: Ronaldo is not a player who just expresses dissatisfaction - he always demands and fulfills his demands.
