The Saudi Pro League SPL has rejected claims that Cristiano Ronaldo has any say in league-wide decisions, insisting that governance, recruitment, and strategic choices remain strictly within the control of individual clubs.
The league's response follows renewed speculation about Ronaldo's future at Al-Nassr after the Portuguese forward was left out of the squad for Monday's league fixture against Al-Riyadh. Media reports in Portugal suggested the veteran striker was unhappy with the club's management and declined to feature in the match, a claim that has fueled uncertainty ahead of Al-Nassr's upcoming clash with Al-Ittihad on Friday.
While Ronaldo later posted an image of himself in training, questions persist over his availability and long-term commitment to the Riyadh-based club.
