Cristiano Ronaldo has gone ON STRIKE and is refusing to play for Al-Nassr after being left “furious” at the club’s situation, according to reports
The sporting icon is the highest-paid footballer in history with his current deal at the Saudi Arabian giants, raking in a reported £488,000 per day.
Ronaldo, who celebrates his 41st birthday on Thursday, has scored 18 goals in 22 games across all competitions this season but is not set to be involved in Al-Nassr‘s next game against Al-Riyadh.
Local media had originally said he would miss the clash because of a physical issue.
But a fresh report has claimed he will actually miss the clash due to being unhappy with the club’s owners, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF).
Portuguese outlet A Bola claim the Manchester United and Real Madrid legend is dissatisfied over apparent favouritism they have shown to rival clubs in the Saudi Pro League over the transfer window.
The report says Ronaldo has complained about manager Jorge Jesus not receiving the reinforcements he requested in the window, with the only player signed being 21-year-old Iraqi midfielder Haydeer Abdulkareem.
Meanwhile, title rivals and current league leaders Al-Hilal have signed ex-Arsenal defender Pablo Mari from Fiorentina, Kader Meité from Rennes in a £26million deal and are in talks for another £26m move for Neom star Saimon Bouabre.
