The highest-paid footballer in history, Cristiano Ronaldo, could soon leave Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia.
One of today’s best footballers left United in November last year to sign a mega-contract with Al Nassr. The Portuguese were expected to lead that club to the championship title, but things did not go according to plan.
Cristiano has an impressive run of 11 goals in 13 games, but his side has dropped the lead in the table after failing to find a goal in their last two games.
In the previous round, Al Nassr lost 2-0 to Al Hilal and now have three points and a game in hand over championship leaders Al Ittihad.
Because of the defeat, the name-calling from the stands, and the chants of Lionel Messi after the game against Al Hilal, the 38-year-old grabbed his crotch before leaving the dressing room.
The vulgarity of the legendary Portuguese caused a stormy reaction from the local public, so much so that it was suggested that he be suspended and expelled from the country.
Thus, lawyer Nouf BinT Ahmed announced a criminal complaint against the Portuguese and the initiation of a petition for his deportation.
“I don’t follow sports, but even if the throwing of Al Hilal fans provoked Ronaldo, he didn’t know how to respond to it. His behavior was a crime. An indecent act in public, which is prosecuted as a criminal offense, followed by arrest and deportation if the perpetrator is a foreigner. In this regard, we will submit a petition to the competent ministry for the control of public order and peace”, she wrote on her Twitter account.
A prominent sports journalist from Saudi Arabia, Osman Abu Bakr, assessed Ronaldo’s move as “immoral and indecent” and told Al Nassr to terminate the striker’s contract.
