Cristiano Ronaldo, the legendary football icon, did not feature in Al-Nassr's latest Saudi Pro League game against Al Riyadh. Reports indicate his absence is due to a protest regarding the club's stagnant transfer activities.
According to the Portuguese outlet A Bola, Ronaldo is disappointed that Al-Nassr hasn't enhanced its team, a necessary step in their pursuit of the league title. Notably, their main rivals, Al Hilal, have reportedly been linked with Ronaldo's former teammate, Karim Benzema. Both clubs are financially supported by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund.
The Portuguese star's absence poses questions about his future with the club. Despite his age, 40-year-old Ronaldo has shown exceptional performance this season with 17 goals. Al-Nassr CEO Jose Semedo was unavailable for comments regarding the situation.
