Cristiano Ronaldo Next Club Odds & Predictions (2026)
According to reports, Cristiano Ronaldo has gone on strike at Al Nassr and that has contributed to rumours regarding the Portugal legend and a potential move away from Saudi Arabia.
Ronaldo was not named in Al Nassr’s team to play Al Riyadh on Monday, with media speculation suggesting that he is unhappy with the lack of investment at the club.
The consensus seems to be that Ronaldo has criticised Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, suggesting that other PIF-owned clubs – such as Al Hilal – are receiving preferential treatment when it comes to the transfer market.
Al Hilal have been busy in the January window, signing former Arsenal defender Pablo Mari while acquiring Ronaldo’s former teammate Karim Benzema on a free transfer.
And according to reports, the Frenchman is set to earn a staggering £1.6 million per week at his new club – signing a one-and-a-half year deal with Al Hilal on deadline day despite one or two late hiccups.
Sky Sports News’ chief correspondent Kaveh Solhekol has spoken out about Cristiano Ronaldo’s current situation and what the future may hold for the Portuguese star.
“Spare a thought for Cristiano Ronaldo, who earns around £500,000 a day. But he’s so unhappy at the moment that he didn’t play for his club Al Nassr on Monday.
“There wasn’t anything wrong with his fitness, he wasn’t rested, he wasn’t in the squad at all. The reason he didn’t play is he’s unhappy with the way Al Nassr have been run.
“Ronaldo feels that the PIF have been putting more money into Al Hilal, Al Ahli and Al Ittihad than they have into his club Al Nassr.
“Bear in mind, Ronaldo has been in Saudi Arabia and scoring goals for fun – but Al Nassr have not won the title in that time. He thought – in this window – that the club would dig deep, bring in reinforcements and strengthen their squad. He feels that hasn’t happened.
“And that’s why he’s effectively gone on strike.”
Will Cristiano Ronaldo leave Al Nassr in the coming months or will the problem be resolved? Only time will tell.
