Football: media reports Ronaldo irritated by Al Nassr transfer market, does not want to play

Milan, 2 February (LaPresse) – Sensational news in Saudi Arabia: Cristiano Ronaldo is determined to skip Al Nassr’s next match, scheduled for Monday against neighbours Al-Riyadh, for the 20th day of the Saudi league, according to A Bola. Contrary to what was initially reported by the Saudi press, the reason has nothing to do with the Portuguese striker’s physical condition, considering the match against champions Al Ittihad, coached by Sérgio Conceição, scheduled for next Friday, 6 February. According to a source within Al Nassr, Ronaldo is dissatisfied with the management of the PIF (Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund) of the club he has represented for three years, especially when compared to the treatment given to Simone Inzaghi’s rivals Al Hilal, also managed by the same fund. Team captain Cristiano complains about the disinvestment in Al Nassr. Coach Jorge Jesus has not received the reinforcements he requested, and the proof is that the only player signed in this winter transfer window was Haydeer Abdulkareem, a 21-year-old Iraqi midfielder.
