Al-Muammar, president of Al Nassr, said on Thursday that he regretted signing Cristiano Ronaldo.
In an interview with "Arabia News 50", the head of the Saudi club described the deal as a "mistake". The statement comes three days after the team was eliminated by Al Wehda in the semi-final of the Saudi King's Cup, leaving them with little chance of winning the title this season.
"I've only been cheated twice in my life. The first time was when I asked for three kebabs (Arabic food) and they only gave me two. The second time was when I hired Cristiano Ronaldo", he polemicized.
After resigning from Manchester United, the Portuguese striker signed a contract with the Middle Eastern side valid until the middle of 2025.
According to the European press, the star is being paid 200 million euros. So far, CR7 has made 14 appearances, contributing 11 goals and 2 assists.
The Lusitanian's form, however, is not good. He has now gone four games without scoring or providing a decisive pass. In the defeat to Al Hilal in the Saudi league, Cristiano Ronaldo even "lost his head" twice, giving Gustavo Cuéllar a head-butt and making an obscene gesture when provoked by rival fans - the five-time Fifa World Player of the Year was sued for his rude "response".
