Al-Nassr player on hit list
Did he refuse to give Ronaldo the number 7?
At the Saudi club Al-Nassr, new signing Cristiano Ronaldo has every wish fulfilled. A “querulant” should therefore be on the cross-off list.

A “CR7” without its legendary number 7 is unimaginable. Of course, Cristiano Ronaldo also holds the number 7 jersey for the camera when announcing his move to Saudi club Al-Nassr.
However, this should not have been so self-evident. At least not for Al-Nassr player Jaloliddin Masharipov. The Uzbek has so far worn the number 7 and, according to various reports on Twitter, has refused to cede it to Ronaldo. Masharipov is said to be on the hit list for the Riyadh club. A move to the Egyptian club Al Ahly has burst.
With the number 7 he will no longer play for Al-Nassr, as club boss Musalli Al Muammar says to “SSC Sports”: “Masharipov now has a new number. He was happy to take the jersey with the number 77. » Because Al-Nassr still has nine foreigners under contract, but only seven per club are allowed in Saudi professional football, Masharipov’s whereabouts in Riyadh is uncertain. What is certain is that Ronaldo will pocket his annual salary of 200 million francs with the number 7. (cmu)
