Ronaldo Strikes Over Al Nassr Transfers
2 Feb
Summary
- Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly unhappy with Al Nassr's limited transfer activity.
- Ronaldo has not traveled for a match due to disappointment with PIF.
- Al Hilal is reportedly close to signing Karim Benzema, a rival for Al Nassr.
Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly made himself unavailable for Al Nassr's upcoming match, stemming from personal disappointment with PIF and the club's perceived lack of ambition in the transfer market.
Sources indicate that the star forward is frustrated by Al Nassr's minimal reinforcements as they pursue the league title. This discontent arises while main rivals Al Hilal are reportedly close to securing the signing of France forward Karim Benzema.
Ronaldo, who signed a contract extension until at least June 2027 in June, has no injury or disciplinary issues. Al Nassr currently sits third in the Saudi Pro League table, three points behind leaders Al Hilal.
Al Nassr's only January signing is Iraq under-23 midfielder Haydeer Abdulkareem, who is yet to debut. In contrast, Al Hilal has been active, signing multiple players including former Arsenal defender Pablo Marí and Saudi internationals.
Manager Jorge Jesus had previously expressed hope for new signings, noting the club's financial constraints limited foreign player acquisitions. Despite these challenges, Ronaldo's absence highlights the pressure on Al Nassr to compete effectively.
