Cristiano Ronaldo, the captain and forward of Al-Nassr, is escalating his stance regarding the team's future by continuing to miss matches as a way of expressing his objection to the transfer policy during the recent winter transfer window.

The Portuguese star feels dissatisfied with the lack of impactful signings, especially compared to what other clubs, led by Al Hilal, have done. This has prompted him to exert clear pressure on those responsible for the Saudi football sector.

Sky Sports revealed that Ronaldo informed the Public Investment Fund and the Saudi Professional League that he might leave the kingdom if he does not receive stronger sporting guarantees that reflect his competitive ambitions.

The network explained that the player is experiencing frustration due to what he perceives as a disparity in support, questioning how Al Hilal managed to complete the Karim Benzema deal, while Al Nassr's moves remain limited.

Ronaldo received notable support from the fans in the recent match against Al-Ittihad, as Al-Nassr fans raised banners displaying the number "7" from the seventh minute, in support of the team's captain.

In a related context, reports ruled out Ronaldo's return to the English Premier League, confirming that Manchester United is not considering bringing him back at the moment.

The Al-Nassr captain participated in 22 matches across all competitions this season, successfully scoring 18 goals and providing 3 assists, remaining one of the league's standout stars despite the controversy surrounding his future.
