Despite Being on Different Teams, Ronaldo Blocks Benzema's Transfer to Al Hilal

Media reports indicate that Cristiano Ronaldo from Al Nassr is blocking Karim Benzema's team transfer to Al Hilal, believing the move would compromise league equilibrium. Benzema is rumored to be moving from Al Ittihad to Al Hilal, both teams under the Public Investment Fund (PIF). According to Turkish reporter Yakis Sabuncuoglu, Ronaldo is preventing the transfer because he claims it would destroy league balance and fair competition. The transfer might also trigger a chain reaction affecting another potential deal involving Ngolo Kante moving to Fenerbahce, with Al Ittihad potentially receiving Yussef N'Nesyri in exchange. Notably, Ronaldo was not listed in Al Nassr's lineup for their match against Al-Riyadh today (Feb 2), despite having no reported injury concerns.
