Cristiano Ronaldo 'goes on strike, refusing to play' for his Saudi club in row over his team's lack of spending… even though they pay him £488,000 PER DAY!
Cristiano Ronaldo has gone on strike ahead of Al-Nassr's next game in Saudi Arabia, according to a report in Portugal. The Saudi Pro League giants are due to play local rivals Al-Riyadh on Monday but may now be without their captain, who has scored 18 goals in 22 games across all competitions this season. He claims Al-Nassr manager Jorge Jesus has not received adequate reinforcements compared to Saudi Pro League rivals Al-Hilal, who have been very active in the transfer market. His explosive remarks prompted Al-Hilal to request that the Saudi Pro League suspend Jesus for between six months and a year. The Portuguese icon scored his 961st career goal during Al-Nassr's 3-0 win over Al-Kholood last Friday.
