Cristiano Ronaldo refuses to play. The footballer who will turn 41 in a few days has not been included in the squad for Al Nassr's next match. According to what the Portuguese daily "A Bola", usually informed about CR7's affairs, reports, the decision is the result of a protest against the PIF fund, which manages the club and which would give more funds in the transfer market to Al Hilal, the main rival and the team that currently leads the Saudi League.

Ronaldo will not play against Al Nassr today

The news arrived late in the evening. "A Bola" and at the same time the transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano announced the absence of the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, specifying that it was not a question of physical or rotation reasons. And then why give up on Ronaldo, seeing the duel for the title at a distance with Simone Inzaghi's Al Hilal? The answer seems to be a protest. Or rather a big rejection.

The PIF fund manages Al Nassr and Al Hilal, who are looking for Benzema

According to “A Bola”, Ronaldo would be unhappy with the way PIF manages Al Nassr economically, especially comparing it to Al Hilal, run by the same fund. The difference in the standings is only three points, so the championship is completely open. But while Al Nassr has bought Haydeer Abudelkareem, a 21-year-old Iraqi midfielder, in this transfer window, Al Hilal seemed or perhaps seemed very close to closing the deal for Karim Benzema, the French super bomber and former offensive partner of CR7 at Real Madrid. On paper, and not only, a big difference.
