Cristiano Ronaldo had made people talk about him by refusing to play with his club Al-Nassr. The reason? The five-time Ballon d’Or winner believed that his Saudi team did not benefit from the same advantages on the transfer market as its competitors Al-Ittihad and Al-Hilal.
A case which followed the transfer of Karim Benzema, the other superstar of the Saudi Pro League, between the latter two clubs. Eager to see Al-Nassr strengthen significantly, CR7 could not bear to see his former friend from Real Madrid move to another top team. The controversy ended this Tuesday.
Ronaldo makes his return
Cristiano Ronaldo has indeed made the decision to end his strike and return to the field. The Portuguese international striker took part in training with his club.
