Cristiano Ronaldo has not yet received any concrete guarantee of changes from the PIF (Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia) in the management of Al Nassr and, therefore, is on track to miss his second consecutive game in the Saudi League, according to the report. More football. Absent against Al-Riyadh, last Monday, the Portuguese international, despite having trained normally during the week, is also expected to miss the clash with Al-Ittihad, this Friday, curiously one day after turning 41 years old. Among other points, Ronaldo made it clear internally that his return depends on the prompt reactivation of powers by Al Nassr directors and, above all, that the interference suffered by them in the recently closed transfer market does not happen again in the middle of the year. In recent months, the Portuguese Simão Coutinho (sporting director) and José Semedo (CEO) were suspended from their duties by the PIF, which angered CR7 and blocked the arrival of major reinforcements for Jorge Jesus. No less important, there was a significant cut in the club's spending. During the same period, rival Al-Hilal, in turn, received a large financial contribution from the multimillionaire Saudi prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Alsaud and strengthened the squad, especially with the arrival of French star Karim Benzema. All of this was done without any backstop, unlike what happened with Al Nassr. As soon as he went on "strike" in Saudi Arabia, the Portuguese international quickly became the target of several surveys, many of them from the United States and Europe. However, I did not want to open negotiations at this time. He believes that leaving now will harm him in his final preparation for the World Cup. However, if there are no decisive changes in the coming weeks, Cristiano Ronaldo is evaluating a transfer in the middle of the year, when he will have a termination clause of approximately 50 million euros - his contract is valid until June 2027.
