Arab journalist Mohammad Al-Bukairi said that Al-Nasr star Talisca is upset that his importance has decreased since Cristiano Ronaldo arrived at the club. The Saudi Pro League signed the Portuguese superstar on a two-and-a-half-year deal in December in what became one of the biggest transfer fees in history.
Al-Nasser has replaced Ronaldo as the highest-paid player to lure him to the Middle East, with the star now said to earn £173 million a year. Apart from the financial package, they made him captain on arrival.
With the arrival of five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo, Jaloliddin Masharipov had to change his jersey number. However, the Uzbek recently dismissed suggestions that anyone at the club was unhappy with the superstar’s importance.
However, it’s worth noting that reports coming out of Talisque’s case suggest that not everyone at Mirzool Park is happy with Cristiano Ronaldo’s influence.
Taliska is the top scorer in the Saudi Pro League with 13 goals. However, it is reported that the player was left out of the Riyadh All-Star XI’s line-up, which includes Al-Nasser and Al-Hilal players, to face Paris Saint-Germain in a friendly match last month. Al Bukairy tweeted.
“The arrival of the big star (Cristiano Ronaldo) took him (Talisca) down from number one and it made him angry, he was angry when he was benched against the French team (PSG).”
