Cristiano Ronaldo has finally broken his silence on his dramatic Saudi strike. The 41-year-old returned to action last week for Al-Nassr and scored a brace in their 4-0 victory over Al-Hazem on Saturday having previously made major waves with his high-profile strop. Ronaldo‚ who earns £488‚000-a-day‚ had been furious with what he perceived to be a lack of transfer backing for Al-Nassr from PIF compared to their rivals.
Ronaldo missed three matches on his strike after reportedly being furious at their lack of spending on transfers compared to their rivals. That frustration only grew deeper when Al-Nassr's title rivals Al-Hilal were allowed to sign his old Real Madrid team-mate Karim Benzema from Al-Ittihad.
Cristiano Ronaldo is believed to have called time on his protest strike at Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr after the club are thought to have yielded to a number of his demands‚ according to reports in Portugal. The footballing behemoth has missed two games in a row for his Riyadh-based team‚ despite raking in an immense £448‚000-per-week salary. The 40-year-old is said to have been incensed by a lack of action and ambition in the transfer window‚ after Ronaldo watched league rival - and fellow Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund (PIF) club - Al-Hilal tempt his former Real Madrid team-mate Karim Benzema from Al-Ittihad.

Cristiano Ronaldo is set to miss his second game as his apparent strike continues. The former Manchester United star‚ who turned 41 on Thursday‚ sat out Al Nassr's last match amid reports he is unhappy at the backing they are being given by the Saudi government compared to other clubs in the country's Pro League. Hopes had been raised that the Portuguese had ended his protest - which saw him miss Monday's win over Al Riyadh - after he posted a picture of himself in training on social media on Wednesday.
Cristiano Ronaldo is back... for now: Al-Nassr celebrates the return of its star amid rumors of his departure
Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly considering leaving Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr in the summer‚ with a return to Europe or a move to the MLS considered potential options. The 40-year-old‚ who‚ on a contract worth £488‚000 per day‚ is the highest-paid footballer in history‚ began a strike earlier this week. Ronaldo is claimed to unhappy with the manner in which Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) is handling Al-Nassr's finances‚ particularly in comparison to how they are treating rival clubs.
It is therefore a sucker punch that Al-Hilal - who are leading the Saudi Pro League by a single point over Al-Nassr - have been allowed to sign one of his greatest allies from his Real Madrid days. The key context in all of this is that all three clubs‚ as well as Al-Ahli‚ are majority controlled by the Saudi Public Investment Fund [PIF].
Most of us gripe about work when the coffee machine is broken‚ the boss is breathing down our neck‚ or the printer jams for the fifth time in a week. Now imagine being paid nearly half a million pounds every day and still walking out in protest. That is exactly what the world's richest footballer‚ Cristiano Ronaldo‚ is doing ahead of Al-Nassr's Saudi Pro League clash with local rivals Al-Riyadh on Monday. Despite banking more in a single week than most people will earn in a lifetime - approximately £3.4million - the Portuguese icon has proved that even unimaginable wealth does not guarantee happiness in the workplace. So‚ what's going on in the Saudi capital? According to reports first published in Portugal on Sunday‚ Ronaldo is on strike over Al-Nassr's lack of ambition in the transfer market‚ having grown frustrated at what he sees as a failure to strengthen the squad while domestic rivals continue to spend heavily.
