""The Saudi Pro League is structured around a simple principle: every club operates independently under the same rules," a league spokesperson said. "Clubs have their own boards, their own executives and their own football leadership. Decisions on recruitment, spending and strategy sit with those clubs, within a financial framework designed to ensure sustainability and competitive balance. That framework applies equally across the league.""
""Cristiano has been fully engaged with Al Nassr since his arrival and has played an important role in the club's growth and ambition. Like any elite competitor, he wants to win. But no individual -- however significant -- determines decisions beyond their own club.""
Cristiano Ronaldo is unhappy with Al Nassr's lack of activity in the January transfer window and plans to boycott a second consecutive Saudi Pro League game after not receiving a concrete guarantee that the Public Investment Fund will change the club's management. Al Nassr did not field him on Monday, though the club expects him to play Friday against Al Ittihad. Rival Al Hilal, also majority-owned by the PIF, signed Karim Benzema. The Saudi Pro League emphasized that recruitment and spending decisions rest with individual clubs and that no single individual determines decisions beyond their own club.
