Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly entered a “strike” at Al Nassr, refusing to play while key officials Jorge Jesus, Simão Coutinho, and Jose Semedo face potential exits amid allegations of institutional favoritism toward Al Hilal.
A leadership exodus looms at Al Nassr as head coach Jorge Jesus, sporting director Simão Coutinho, and CEO Jose Semedo reportedly consider resigning.
The turmoil stems from claims that the Public Investment Fund (PIF) is actively undermining the club’s board while granting Al Hilal unfair advantages in the transfer market.
This internal power struggle has left the Riyadh-based club in a state of administrative paralysis.
Cristiano Ronaldo has escalated the crisis by refusing to take the pitch, signaling a personal protest against the perceived “internal sabotage” of his team.
While maintaining total silence, the captain’s absence delivers a blunt ultimatum to the PIF.
Ronaldo’s message is loud and clear: he will not play until the board’s authority is restored and the governing fund resolves the systemic favoritism favoring rival clubs.
