Well ... al-nassr always become the title contender and cristiano arrival indeed to boost that chance which it's failed now , despite it's not a total failure as cristiano has bring al-nassr popularity into a new level! Next season where he will play and help the club since the beginning of the season might be a higher chance for al nassr to get back the saudi pro league title back since the last time they winning it in 2018-2019.
Al-ittihad knew the situation and make a faster move by bring benzema and kante at once! Crazy oil money overthere.
Yes, as a team that is the ruler of the Saudi Pro League, Al-Ittihad feels threatened by Ronaldo at Al-Nassr. Signing Benzema and Ngolo Kante was the right move. With their arrival, of course Al-Ittihad strength is getting better. For Al-Nassr, they must be able to bring in quality players who can support Ronaldo movements on the field so they can win the title next season. There is no news that Al-Nassr wants to bring in another European star player, if they still have enough money, I think they can add 1-2 other European star players.
The Al-Nassr have Cristiano Ronaldo and he is better than many players combined because we all know that he's truly skilled and he can change the shape of the match with his skill set. I'm also hoping that Al-Nassr is soon going to hire some more European players in their team, but they will have to increase their current budget in order to do that. The Saudi Pro League teams are ready to spends millions in order to make a name in the world of Football.
On the other hand, Al-Ittihad has added Benzema and Ngolo Kante to have their share in the league. Both of those players are skilled and can play very well against other players and even they can play against Ronaldo and could give him hard time in matches. Other than Ronaldo the Al-Nassr team also has some good players like "Talisca" who is a great companion to Ronaldo in the matches and I'm pretty sure that they will soon get some more good players on their side.
