A storm of controversy has erupted at CR7’s Al Nassr as players received unexpected letters detailing financial deductions for petty reasons. For some players, money was deducted for arriving late at Al Nassr headquarters. While few others faced the same treatment for simply attending therapy sessions.

One of the most unacceptable reasons for the financial debacle was players failing to wear their official travel uniform. This heavy-handed measure, especially towards personal well-being choices like therapy, has left players furious. Moreover, this tarnished Al-Nassr’s image, and many raised their eyebrows at the management’s ability to understand players’ needs.

Many believe things are going wrong in Al-Nassr because of the poor decisions of the new CEO. The former AC Roma director assumed the position of CEO just two months ago. Since then, plenty of issues have arisen among the management and players from both the men’s and women’s teams. Interestingly, Ronaldo didn’t hesitate a bit to show his disappointment with the club’s recent decisions.
