Al Hilal CEO Esteve Calzada has little sympathy with Cristiano Ronaldo, who refused to play for Saudi Pro League rivals Al Nassr this week over perceived injustice in how the clubs are operating.
Al Nassr, Al Hilal, Al Ittihad and Al Ahli are all owned by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), but Ronaldo allegedly believes the other three are getting superior treatment. Karim Benzema’s sudden move from Al Ittihad to Al Hilal this week, strengthening the latter in their title battle with Al Nassr, is reported to have left Ronaldo ‘furious’ to the point where his future is in doubt.
