Ronaldo's Heart: The Secret Weapon Behind His Al Nassr Love
Ronaldo's love for Al Nassr on display during training despite ongoing questions.

Ronaldo's Heart, His Secret Weapon

Cristiano Ronaldo is in a difficult spell at Al Nassr, with his future at the club uncertain and questions about his role at the home ground lingering.

He missed the clash with Riyadh, and his participation in the upcoming Clasico against Al Ittihad on Friday in the Saudi Pro League remains in doubt.

The absence comes as Ronaldo is unhappy about the departure of Karim Benzema to Al Hilal during the winter transfer window.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano notes Ronaldo even posted a training photo with a yellow and blue heart, a clear sign of love for Al Nassr.

Romano adds on his YouTube channel that Ronaldo loves the club but is unhappy with the way the investment fund runs the team.

In January, Al Nassr added no new players, while rivals like Al Hilal added through the fund's network, making Benzema the talk of the town; a fixture shows Al Nassr vs Al Ittihad on February 6 at 18:30.

Punchline: If love for a club were a transfer window, Ronaldo would have a lifetime option.

Punchline 2: And if patience paid wages, his contract would be endless.
