A hot rumor is currently shaking the Saudi Pro League and making waves on social media and sports media: Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly furious about the preferential treatment given by the PIF – the sovereign fund that controls several Saudi clubs – to Al-Hilal, at the expense of his team, Al-Nassr.
According to some reports circulating in recent hours, the Portuguese superstar has chosen to skip his club’s last match, headed to Madeira, and is seriously considering ending his adventure in Saudi Arabia.
If this news is confirmed, it would be a true earthquake for the SPL, where Ronaldo’s presence is not just a sporting asset but also a powerful media and commercial engine. The idea that CR7 could leave the kingdom in the middle of the season has immediately sparked a wave of speculation, with fans and international journalists watching for any sign of discontent from the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
However, according to the Portuguese daily Record, part of these rumors is unfounded. The newspaper claims that Ronaldo never left Riyadh and will be present at training this Tuesday, ahead of the highly anticipated clash against Al-Ittihad. Nevertheless, Record also confirms that the player remains unhappy with the treatment of Al-Nassr and that his future in Saudi Arabia remains uncertain, leaving doubts about the length of his commitment to the club.
In this context, all eyes are now on the upcoming match for the Saudi club, as well as on the next official communications from Ronaldo and Al-Nassr. Everyone is focused on the Portuguese star, whose decisions could have significant repercussions not only on the championship but also on the image and organization of the clubs owned by the PIF. Saudi Arabia, used to attracting international attention with its global stars, could face another media storm if the situation evolves in the coming days.
