Absence Linked to Rival Club Signing
The poster appeared after Ronaldo did not play in Monday’s match between Al Nassr and Al Riyadh. Reports suggest Ronaldo skipped the match to express frustration over rival club Al Hilal signing Karim Benzema.
Concerns Over Club Support and Competition
Media reports indicate that both Al Nassr and Al Hilal receive backing from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF).
