A Saudi Pro League spokesperson has warned Cristiano Ronaldo that he cannot use his status as the league’s biggest name to influence Al Nassr’s off-field business.
Ronaldo has gone on strike in protest of Al Nassr’s underwhelming recruitment during a January transfer window in which Al Hilal, also owned by the Public Investment Fund, recruited aggressively in pursuit of the league title. The acquisition of Karim Benzema, Ronaldo’s former Real Madrid teammate, tipped him over the edge.
