Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly “furious” at the fact that Al Hilal, his Al Nassr side’s chief rivals for the Saudi Pro League title, have been allowed to sign Karim Benzema in the middle of the season.
Benzema was officially announced by the table-topping Al Hilal on Monday evening after the deal had been held up by Ronaldo. The Kingdom’s star asset supposedly refused to play in Al Nassr’s clash with Al Riyadh earlier in the day—which was won by a single goal from Sadio Mané—in protest against a perceived lack of investment in his club compared to their rivals.
