A day after his 41st birthday, Cristiano Ronaldo continues his surreal "strike" in Saudi Arabia: the Portuguese champion did not even appear in the match between Al Nassr and Al Ittihad (2-0 win), having also boycotted the previous match won against Al Riyadh. His team is back to within one point of Simone Inzaghi's Al Hilal, so it is more than ever in the race for a title that would be Ronaldo's first since his arrival at Al Nassr at the beginning of 2023, but there is nothing to shake the Madeira bomber from the position he has taken for almost a week.

Unpaid salary issues

In fact, there is something: it is the Portuguese daily "A Bola", very informed on issues related to CR7, which reveals the shocking behind-the-scenes. Behind Ronaldo's tough stance is not only Al Nassr's recent very poor transfer market, compared to rivals Al Hilal who brought in Karim Benzema (who immediately scored a hat-trick with the new jersey), but an even more serious behavior on the part of the Riyadh club's ownership: the non-payment of salaries. Something that seems incredible, considering the wealth of his employers.

So, touch Ronaldo all you want, but not the bank transfer that should arrive punctually in his account every month. We are talking about figures beyond any common logic: a little less than 20 million euros… per month, for a total of over 200 million per season.

Cristiano Ronaldo continues strike at Al Nassr

Thus, Ronaldo has decided not to take the field on Friday against Al Ittihad: he would have done so - explains "A Bola" - "if he had been paid his back wages by the Saudi club", but since nothing has changed so far, the former Juventus and Real player will continue to protest and not play.

Cristiano has realized that there has been no change in the attitude towards him from the PIF fund (which owns the majority of the shares of both Al Nassr and Al Hilal), so much so that, in addition to the lack of investment in the transfer market, there continue to be major delays in the payment of salaries to the club's players, staff and employees.

The situation is much more serious than previously understood: Ronaldo will wait for the situation to be resolved before returning to play. Otherwise, he will stay at home. After all, even without the bank transfer, something is off...
