After Drama Erupts, Will Cristiano Ronaldo Bid Farewell to Saudi League?
Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Nassr confirmed that he wants to continue playing in the Saudi Arabian league, even though there were previous management controversies. In early February, Ronaldo did not play in two matches for Al Nassr despite having no injuries, which media reported was due to his dissatisfaction with the management of the Public Investment Fund (PIF), which owns four clubs in the Saudi Pro League, including Al Ahli, Al Ittihad, Al Hilal, and Al Nassr, regarding team reinforcement policies. However, the 41-year-old player ultimately returned to the field for Al Nassr in a game where the team defeated Al Fateh 2-0 on February 15. Despite previous rumors about team transfers, Ronaldo recently confirmed he has no intention of leaving the Saudi league. "I am Saudi Arabia's, I want to stay here. This is the country that welcomed me, including my family and friends. I am happy here and want to continue staying here."
