According to reports, Al Nassr has effectively rejected the idea of potentially postponing the match. Ronaldo’s side is confident of possessing quality players who can keep up with the game despite the demanding schedule in the upcoming weeks.
Meanwhile, Al Nassr was scheduled to participate in a preseason friendly tournament post-2023-24 season. The international tournament was promised to stage Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Al Alami in its fixtures. However, Al Alami’s surprising refusal of this tournament offers food for thought for the soccer fraternity.
Al Nassr has no sign of interest in the international tournament
The European giants agreed to participate if only Al Nassr signed up for this tournament. However, the highly anticipated tournament is in jeopardy as the Knights of Najd refused to compete without any specific reason. The start of the tournament is now uncertain following this shocking decision from the Saudi side.
