According to the newspaper A Bola, Cristiano Ronaldo is not going to play by his own decision in Al Nassr’s next match, corresponding to matchday 20, which takes place on Monday at 16.45 Spanish time, against Al Riyadh. The reason for his absence would not have to do with any physical issue or any personal problem that would prevent him from being on the pitch. According to the Portuguese newspaper, it was CR7 himself who made the decision not to be on the field and it is for another reason

Specifically, A Bola explains that, according to sources from Al Nassr itself, “Cristiano is unhappy with the management that the PIF (Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia) is doing with Al Nassr, compared to the treatment that has been given to its rivals, also managed by the same fund, especially compared to Al Hilal”.

Benzema and the lack of signings

It so happens that in recent days the interest of Al Hilal has emerged to secure the services of Benzema. Al-Ittihad, his current team, offered the Frenchman a renewal that did not meet his expectations and,L’Equipe, announced that the Frenchman would be about to sign for Al Hilal, the leader of the Saudi Pro League, who are three points ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo’s team, who are second

Precisely, signings would be one of the reasons that could have caused Cristiano to make this decision not to play on Monday in the Saudi League match. According to information from A Bola, the Portuguese player “complains about the lack of investment in the club”. In fact, Al Nassr has only signed one player in this winter transfer window. It is Haydeer Abdulkareem, a 21-year-old midfielder from Iraq.
