his strike to push for change.<\/p>\n<p>The report added that Ronaldo is prepared to request to leave Al Nasr if the situation does not change by the summer.<\/p>\n<p>The Portugal international refused to feature in Al Nasr&#8217;s last match, with ESPN adding that he tried to block Karim Benzema&#8217;s move from Al Ittihad to Al Hilal earlier this week.<\/p>\n<h2><span

goes on to explain, there have been some changes at Al Nasr recently that hinder what the club can do in the transfer market.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><figcaption

were recently suspended by the PIF, which infuriated Ronaldo, but it also appears the team&#8217;s expenses have been cut.<\/p>\n<p>While all this is happening, Al Hilal have more money to spend on big signings like Benzema, so it may not be all that surprising that Ronaldo is unhappy with the turn of events.<\/p>\n<p>The 41-year-old has a contract with Al Nasr until 2027, but it may be difficult for them to keep him now.<\/p>\n<p>Losing Ronaldo will certainly be a huge blow to Saudi football, but it is clear that some changes will have to be made to satisfy the star name.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_Cristiano_Ronaldo_be_able_to_return_to_Europe\"><\/span>Will Cristiano Ronaldo be able to return to Europe?<span

that for him at this point.<\/p>\n<p>First, Ronaldo turns 41 today, but it&#8217;s not clear how much longer he has left until he retires.<\/p>\n<p>At this stage, it&#8217;s definitely likely that
