Cristiano Ronaldo's Saudi protest strike has reportedly come to an end, as his demands are met by his Saudi club, Al-Nassr. The 40-year-old star had been missing games, despite his massive weekly salary, due to a lack of transfer activity and unequal treatment within the club. Ronaldo's frustration was sparked by the transfer of his former Real Madrid teammate, Karim Benzema, to a rival club, Al-Hilal. However, Al-Nassr has now settled outstanding payments and reinstated certain powers to directors, addressing Ronaldo's concerns. The Portuguese legend will now return to action, preparing for the AFC Cup away tie against Turkmenistan side Arkadag, before the Saudi Pro League resumes on Saturday against Al-Fateh. The league's spokesperson defended their approach, emphasizing the independence of each club and the financial framework designed for sustainability and balance. Ronaldo's return to the pitch marks a resolution to his protest, as he focuses on the club's growth and ambition, despite the recent lack of major silverware.
