Ronaldo to boycott second Al-Nassr game with Saudi Arabia future uncertain

Al-Nassr forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, is set to boycott a second consecutive league fixture.

This is because the 40-year-old has not received guarantees that the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund, PIF, will make changes regarding the Saudi Pro League club’s management.

ESPN reports that if nothing changes in the coming weeks, Ronaldo will demand to leave in June.

The Portugal captain refused to feature in Monday’s 1-0 league win over Al Riyadh in protest.

Ronaldo, who has trained with his team this week, posted a picture of himself to his social media on Wednesday.

But on Al Nassr’s official X account posts on Wednesday there were only pictures of coach Jorge Jesus and Ronaldo’s teammates training.

Al Nassr’s next league game will be against Al Ittihad on Friday.
