Al Nassr speaks out against club president's assessment of Ronaldo deal as a scam

Previously, the criticism of Al Nassr's $75 million/year deal to sign Ronaldo was a scam that originated on Arabia News 50. Chairman Musalli Al-Muammar was quoted by the site: "I have only been scammed twice in my life. The first was when I ordered three steaks and they only brought out two. The second was when I signed Ronaldo."

However, Ronaldo's team's media representative - Al-Muhaidib - denied it. This representative said that it was just a joke by Al-Muammar and that the information given by Arabia News 50 was incorrect.

At present, Ronaldo has gone 3 consecutive matches without scoring when playing for Al Nassr. Besides, Ronaldo's image is gradually declining after recent controversies in the Saudi Arabian domestic league. Since joining the Middle Eastern team, Ronaldo has scored 11 goals after 14 matches in all competitions.

Meanwhile, Al Nassr have won just one of their last four games in all competitions. Ronaldo's side were also knocked out of the Saudi Arabian King's Cup after a forgettable defeat to 10-man Al Wehda in the semi-finals.

Faced with these problems, Al Nassr President Al-Muammar has submitted his resignation to the Saudi Arabian Football Association. It is understood that Al-Muammar's resignation will be approved early next week. Previously, Ronaldo's team also fired coach Rudi Garcia after round 23.

Currently, Al Nassr is temporarily led by youth team coach Dinko Jelicic. Jose Mourinho is currently the most promising candidate to lead Al Nassr and has been offered by the Saudi Arabian Football Federation recently.

Ronaldo's team is currently second in the Saudi League with 53 points and has almost lost the chance to win the championship when it is 6 points behind Al Ittihad. AL Nassr's next match is against Al Raed (ranked 11th) in the early morning of April 29.
