Despite league threat: Ronaldo on strike even for top clash | OneFootball

Cristiano Ronaldo continues his strike despite the warning from the league and is absent from Al Nassr's lineup in the important league clash against Al Ittihad. 

One day after his 41st birthday, the Portuguese player will not take the field for his employer in the top match of the Saudi Pro League. No injury is known. 

CR7 is reportedly dissatisfied with the transfer policy of the state fund PIF, which oversees four clubs in the Saudi league. From his perspective, Al-Nassr is being treated too poorly compared to other clubs.

Recently, Ronaldo received a warning from the league association after his game and training strike at Al Nassr. A spokesperson for the Saudi Pro League confirmed to the 'BBC' that the superstar has received a warning. "No individual, no matter how significant, should rise above their club," emphasized the league official.

The league spokesperson also stated: "Decisions regarding player signings, expenditures, and strategy are the responsibility of the clubs and are made within a financial framework that aims to ensure sustainability and competitive balance. This framework applies equally across the league."
