Cristiano Ronaldo, the world's highest-paid footballer, has gone on strike at Al-Nassr, refusing to play in protest over the club's lack of ambition in the transfer market. Despite earning nearly half a million pounds daily, Ronaldo is frustrated by Al-Nassr's failure to strengthen the squad while rivals, also owned by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, continue to spend heavily. His actions follow similar moves by other star players, highlighting growing concerns over financial imbalance in Saudi Arabian football. Off the pitch, Ronaldo enjoys a lavish lifestyle with his family in ultra-private villas on the Red Sea, but his desire for domestic success remains unfulfilled as Al-Nassr trails behind league leaders.
