Background
Portuguese journalist Duarte Monteiro spoke about Ronaldo's ongoing crisis, the star of Al Nassr.
Ronaldo grew angry after Karim Benzema's move to Al Hilal, arriving from Al Ittihad during the winter window.
He was absent for Al Nassr’s matches with Al Riyadh and Al Ittihad due to this dispute.
Monteiro told Arab News that Ronaldo is unhappy with the lack of investment in the club and with the powers exercised by the management.
He wants regular game time ahead of the World Cup as a priority; if no middle ground is found, a move to Major League Soccer could be on the table.
Romano has noted Ronaldo’s desire to stay in the Saudi league and continue representing Al Nassr, even as tensions simmer.
He also pointed out that Al Nassr signed no player in January, while rivals like Al Hilal imported players from fund-backed sources, including Benzema.
Monteiro added Ronaldo informed top league officials that he is seriously considering leaving Saudi Arabia in the summer.
According to CBS, Ronaldo carries a €50 million escape clause in his contract.
PUNCHLINE 1: If contracts grew on trees, Ronaldo would prune the forest and still ask for a bigger trunk.
PUNCHLINE 2: In football as in life, when the transfer window closes, the calendar opens—watch Ronaldo star in the sequel.
