Cristiano Ronaldo was absent from Al-Nassr’s matchday squad to face local rivals Al-Riyadh on Monday, amid reports that the Portuguese icon had gone ‘on strike’.
Ronaldo, who has scored 18 goals in 22 games across all competitions for the Saudi Pro League side this season, is the highest-paid player in the history of the game and trousers a reported £488,000 per day.
