Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese star, is expected to lead his team Al-Nassr in their upcoming match against Al-Fateh in the Saudi Pro League. The match is set for Saturday as part of the 22nd round of league games. Over the past week, Ronaldo has been a focal point of discussion among both Saudi and international media due to ongoing speculation regarding his future at the club, fueled by reports of his discontent with the club’s financial expenditures and support compared to rival teams like Al-Hilal.

Reports indicate Ronaldo is frustrated with the disparities in financial backing for clubs under the Saudi investment fund, especially after his former Real Madrid teammate Karim Benzema transferred from Al-Ittihad to Al-Hilal. This perceived imbalance has ignited discussions about the competitive landscape of the league. However, the situation appears to have stabilized, as Ronaldo has returned to training after missing previous matches against Al-Riyadh, Al-Ittihad, and Qarabag in the AFC Champions League.

There is a strong expectation that Ronaldo will be included in the squad selected by coach Jorge Jesus for the game against Al-Fateh, which is being held at their home venue. The outcome of this match could play a pivotal role in the ongoing saga of Ronaldo's time in Saudi Arabia, especially amidst the rising scrutiny of competitive equity in the league.
