A major drama in Saudi football: the Saudi national investment fund is working to write off approximately $213 million in debts accumulated by Al Nassr club, in preparation for its sale to foreign investors. According to reports, the American Red Bird fund, which controls Milan and Toulouse, is conducting advanced negotiations to purchase 70% of the club's shares for approximately $267 million. The real bombshell: the team's star, Cristiano Ronaldo, is expected to become a major shareholder and hold approximately 20% of Al Nassr's shares. The move is part of a broader privatization wave aimed at placing the Saudi league at the forefront of global sports ahead of the 2034 World Cup.
