Ronaldo To Boycott Second-Successive Saudi Pro League Game

Football icon Cristiano Ronaldo is set to boycott his second-straight Saudi Pro League match amid frustrations with the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund (PIF) regarding the management and investment in the club

The Al-Nassr star had not featured in the club's 1-0 win over Al Riyadh on Monday, in protest of PIF's alleged lack of investment in Al Nassr and to give their arch-rivals, Al Hilal, an advantage and greater effort.

Sources have revealed  that if no changes take place in the coming weeks, Ronaldo could be saying goodbye to



the club as early as June this year, without completing his new deal, which is in effect till 2027. 

Ronaldo tried to block the transfer of French football icon Karim Benzema from Al Ittihad to Al Hilal on Monday, believing the move was unfair and that PIF wanted to pave the way for an Al Hilal title win

Ronaldo trained with his team this week and posted pictures on social media on Wednesday wearing Al Nassr colours. But on the club's official X, there were only pictures of coach Jorge Jesus and other teammates training, not of Cristiano.
