The conflict between Christian Ronaldo (41, Al Nasr), who has passed the age of invincibility, and the Saudi Arabian Professional League (SPL) is heading for catastrophe. When Ronaldo made a 'game no-show' precipitation, the league even refuted it in an official statement.

"ESPN" reported on the 6th (Korea Standard Time) that "Ronaldo is planning to boycott two consecutive games if he is not promised a change in the management of Al Nasr's club by the Saudi National Treasury Fund."

According to the media, Ronaldo is deeply dissatisfied with the team's sluggish performance in the January transfer market. In particular, it is known that Al Hilal, a rival team, has strengthened its power by recruiting Karim Benzema from RT Hard. Ronaldo has already missed the match against Alyard on the 2nd.

As the conflict grew, the Saudi professional league took an unusually strong stance. "No matter how important the players are, they cannot make decisions beyond their teams," a league spokesperson said in a statement, according to ESPN. "The Saudi league is operated independently by all clubs under the same rules. Each club's board of directors has the right to decide on recruiting players and strategies, he stressed.

In addition, "Al-Nasr has already spent a huge budget on acquiring Joao Felix and Kingsley Comang last summer. Al Hilal's recruitment of Benzema is a separate matter made up of funds from individual investors, not sovereign wealth funds," he said.

However, Ronaldo's anger is not expected to subside easily. On the same day, 'CBS Sports' said, "Ronaldo feels betrayed by the recent transfer business in the league. He said he had informed people of his intention to leave Saudi Arabia.

Even the media analyzed, "According to Ronaldo's aides, Ronaldo feels that he is being used only as a means of publicity, not as a leading player in fair competition," adding, "He is ready to end his three-year life in Saudi Arabia without direct mediation from senior PIF officials or a clear guarantee of club management."

Ronaldo's current contract with Al Nasr is due in June 2027. However, local officials believed that Ronaldo could miss the match against RT Hard to clearly convey his dissatisfaction. "CBS Sports" predicts the possibility of Ronaldo returning to his professional debut team Sporting CP (Portugal) or moving to Turkiye, where exchanges with Saudi Arabia are active recently if he leaves the team.

Ronaldo's contract reportedly includes a 50 million euro buyout clause. The club started to placate Ronaldo by posting a congratulatory post on his official social network service (SNS) on his birthday.
