A media report has revealed a shocking surprise about the absence of Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo from the Al-Nassr match against Riyadh, this evening, Monday, as part of the Saudi Professional League competitions.

ESPN network confirmed that Ronaldo's absence is not related to any injury or physical problem, but rather due to administrative and personal reasons related to a state of discontent and anger within the club's corridors.

The network explained that Ronaldo is protesting against the moves of the Saudi Public Investment Fund, due to the suspension of important internal decisions and its impact on the course of some negotiations related to Al-Nassr Club.

The Al-Nassr captain believes that these decisions have hindered the team's development steps and directly affected the club's ambitions during the current period, especially with the intensification of competition in the league.

The report indicated that Ronaldo believes there is greater influence in favor of Al-Hilal, the league leaders, whether behind the scenes or in the transfer market during the recent phase.

The Portuguese star also expressed his annoyance at Al-Hilal's strong moves, especially as they are close to finalizing the deal for French striker Karim Benzema coming from Al-Ittihad.

ESPN emphasized that Ronaldo's absence is not related to technical or tactical aspects, and he does not suffer from any medical issues that prevent him from participating.

The report concluded by confirming that the decision to be absent was due to purely administrative considerations, amid escalating tension within the Saudi football scene in recent days.
