Al-Nassr، the club where Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo plays، is facing financial difficulties. Some first-team players received only partial wages for June، and the club's management has promised to pay the remaining amount later، without specifying a timeline، according to infohub.kz.
The financial strain has already affected the team's transfer strategy. After midfielder Marcelo Brozovic left following the expiration of his contract، the club has yet to open formal negotiations for a replacement.
As a reminder، Portugal reached the Round of 16 at the World Cup but failed to advance further. In the knockout match، Ronaldo's team faced one of the tournament favorites، Spain. The match was decided by a single goal scored in the 90+1st minute by substitute Mikel Merino، making the final score 0-1 in favor of Spain.
After the final whistle، Cristiano Ronaldo broke down in tears. He also said this World Cup would be the last of his professional career. During the tournament، he started all five matches for his national team and scored three goals: two against Uzbekistan and one against Croatia.
