"Ronaldo, who has scored 18 goals in 22 games across all competitions for the Saudi Pro League side this season, is the highest-paid player in the history of the game and trousers a reported 488,000 per day. But despite this eye-watering pay packet, the 40-year-old is said to be unhappy with the management of the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund (PIF)."
"Portuguese outlet A Bola reported that Ronaldo is not impressed with PIF's handling of Al-Nassr's finances, with the subject of his ire being how they are treating rival teams. Ronaldo's Al-Nassr are one of four sides - the others being Al-Ahli, Al-Ittihad and Al-Hilal - in which PIF control a 75 per cent stake, with the fund using its financial firepower to bring some of the world's biggest names to the Saudi Pro League."
Cristiano Ronaldo was absent from Al-Nassr's matchday squad for the Al-Riyadh derby amid reports he went on strike. He has scored 18 goals in 22 games this season and earns a reported 488,000 per day as the game's highest-paid player. Ronaldo is unhappy with the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund's management of Al-Nassr's finances, particularly how rival PIF-controlled clubs are being treated. PIF holds 75% stakes in Al-Nassr, Al-Ahli, Al-Ittihad and Al-Hilal and has used its resources to sign global stars. Ronaldo believes Al-Nassr have not received equal transfer backing, with only one January signing, Iraqi midfielder Haydeer Abdulkareem.
