Let us remind you that Cristiano Ronaldo, the central striker of the Al-Nassr club, missed the match on February 2, 2026, which may be related to a conflict over the transfer situation in the Saudi Arabian championship. Problems arose between the 40-year-old player and the club against the backdrop of the recent transfer of Karim Benzema from Al-Ittihad to Al-Hilal. All three clubs, including Al-Nassr, are controlled by the Saudi Public Investment Fund, which underscores the importance of transfer deals in the region.
