The Public Investment Fund (PIF) of Saudi Arabia has temporarily suspended negotiations regarding the transfer of French striker Karim Benzema from Al-Ittihad to Al-Hilal.
Idman.Biz reports that journalist Sacha Tavolieri reported this on social media platform X.
According to the source, the deal with Benzema was temporarily suspended after Cristiano Ronaldo expressed dissatisfaction with the PIF's unwillingness to allocate additional transfer funds to Al-Nassr. It was previously reported in the media that the Portuguese player threatened to boycott the games.
On Monday, February 2, Ronaldo was not in his team's squad for the first time this season. He was not included in the squad for the 20th round match of the Saudi Arabian Pro League. Recall that the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia owns the clubs Al-Nassr, Al-Ittihad, Al-Hilal and Al-Ahli.
