The Reason Behind Ronaldo's Strike and Non-Participation with Al Nassr

Cristiano Ronaldo is protesting by not playing for Al Nassr, challenging the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF). The 40-year-old star, who has no injuries or bans, is dissatisfied that PIF and the 75% shareholders of four major clubs (Al-Ahli, Al-Ittihad, Al-Hilal, and Al Nassr) are primarily investing in Al-Hilal. This tension escalated to the point where Jorge Jesus, Al Nassr's coach, previously criticized the situation and nearly faced a one-year ban. During the January transfer window, Al Nassr signed only one new player, Iraqi footballer Haider Abdul Karim, while Al-Hilal made significant purchases like Pablo Mari from Fiorentina and Kader Mete from Rennes.
