Ronaldo crisis deepens at Al Nassr — Portuguese star sets conditions before playing again

Cristiano Ronaldo could miss more matches for Al Nassr as reports link his absence to frustration over the club’s transfer plans.

New details on Ronaldo’s situation

Fresh reports emerged about growing issue between Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Nassr following his recent absence from training and matchday action.

Several outlets claimed that Ronaldo refused to take part in team training and did not feature in Al Nassr’s latest Saudi Pro League match against Al Riyadh as he was unhappy with the club’s current position in the transfer market.

The reports suggest the Portuguese star is concerned about rivals strengthening their squads while Al Nassr have not made similar progress.

Transfer concerns and Benzema rumours

Some sources also claimed Ronaldo attempted to block possible move involving Karim Benzema amid talk of the striker leaving Al Ittihad for Al Hilal.

The rumours reflect Ronaldo’s frustration about continued investment in Al Hilal’s squad while Al Nassr supporters are still waiting for major reinforcements.

Ronaldo’s conditions for returning

Portuguese journalist Bruno Andrade reported that Ronaldo wants clear guarantees from the club and has asked for full independence for Al Nassr’s management in the transfer window, without outside interference.

Andrade added that Ronaldo has since returned to training normally which has also been mentioned in Saudi reports.

However he is still expected to miss the upcoming league match against Al Ittihad on Friday.

According to the same reports, Ronaldo has set several conditions before returning to competitive matches.

If these demands are not met, he may continue training without playing until the end of the season.

Possible departure before contract ends

Ronaldo’s future could also depend on contract developments. Reports claim he could leave Al Nassr before the final year of his deal especially as his release clause is expected to drop to €50 million in the next transfer period.

It has also been suggested that clubs from Major League Soccer & Europe have already made enquiries about his situation.
