Ronaldo Misses Al Nassr Match: Latest Updates

Cristiano Ronaldo is unhappy with PIF’s divestment in Al Nassr, the same fund that manages Al Hilal, Al Ittihad and Al Ahli.

The Portuguese international believes that the PIF’s latest decisions were detrimental to Al Nassr, contrary to what has happened with its rivals, and refused to take the field this Monday afternoon, in the game against Al Riyadh.

The starting eleven has already been announced and the captain of the Saudi team, who continues his pursuit of a thousand goals in his career, is not part of the game sheet defined by Jorge Jesus.

The weak movement in the transfer market and the absence of reinforcements requested by the Portuguese coach accentuated Cristiano Ronaldo’s discontent with the latest decisions of the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund in Al Nassr.

Furthermore, the Portuguese Simão Coutinho and José Semedo, who are in the structure of the Saudi club, continue to have their powers frozen, by decision of the Board of Directors.

Contrary to what was initially reported, the player’s absence from the game’s accounts is not related to the management of physical effort for the meeting between Al Nassr, second placed, and sixth and defending champion, Al Ittihad.
