The top clubs in the Saudi league have enough financial support, that's why they are keeping all these big players with such a huge amount of money. Recently, the most discussed issue is keeping Cristiano Ronaldo with such a huge amount of money. Many are saying that instead of keeping Cristiano Ronaldo at the club with such an annual salary, three to four more players from Europe could have been hired in his place. Yes, the club could have done it if they wanted, but Al-Nassr may want to make all their plans with Cristiano Ronaldo. While paying Ronaldo such an annual salary, they are not able to buy any other player, there are still many rumors in the transfer market where it is heard that big stars from Europe are being offered from Al-Nassr. The team is spending money every season, but they are not competing with Al Hilal. In this regard, if they think they need a good quality manager, then the management should focus on that.
Al-Nassr realizes that retaining Cristiano Ronaldo is their top priority for the club's financial benefit. As you know, many sponsors flock to Al-Nassr thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo. Therefore, Al-Nassr remains in a profitable position, even when they have to pay a large sum for the legendary player. Furthermore, Al-Nassr also realizes that without Cristiano Ronaldo, the SPL will likely lose its spotlight. Meanwhile, the PIF is investing heavily to advance football in Saudi Arabia to gain more global attention. And Al-Nassr, as a team under the PIF, doesn't need to worry about money, as the PIF has a dedicated budget for this area.

Likewise, other teams under the PIF, namely Al-Hilal, Al-Ittihad, and Al-Ahli. Regarding the new manager, I think Al-Nassr could improve under their current coach, Jorge Jesus.
After Cristiano Ronaldo joined Al-Nassr, the football world has learned about the Saudi League and Al-Nassr. Only because of Cristiano Ronaldo, various clubs in the league have been able to take so many famous footballers from Europe to the Saudi League. After Cristiano Ronaldo came to Al-Nassr, many big sponsors have come to Al-Nassr, but we can see it in Al-Nassr and this is a very big sector of the club's income. Earlier, Adidas did not sponsor Al-Nassr with jerseys and other equipment, but after Cristiano Ronaldo came, they sponsored Al-Nassr as the only club in the Saudi League. Maybe the amount of money they have paid to keep Ronaldo is a lot, but if the club had suffered a lot financially by keeping him, they would not have kept him, there is a profit or there is a possibility of profit, that is why they have kept Cristiano Ronaldo with such a large amount of money.
