I agree than an individual player is not bigger than the club, or the league as a whole. But that said, when you have an all time great player in your club, you need to treat him with respect. Ronaldo revived the prospects of Al Nassr, made the Saudi Professional League one of the most popular leagues in the world, and then played his part in Saudi Arabia winning the hosting rights for FIFA World Cup 2034. Given all this, the recently signed contract between him and Al Nassr is fair and mutually beneficial to both the sides.

Your statement is certainly true, as Al Nassr's treatment of a player like Ronaldo has been very fair and also quite extraordinary. Ronaldo has had a significant impact on Saudi Arabia and has attracted players who are no longer able to compete in Europe to come to Saudi Arabia before they retire. Although previously I was also surprised by Ronaldo's new contract at Al Nassr because it was really brilliant for a great player like Ronaldo and I also think that on the one hand Al Nassr has also had more advantages since signing Ronaldo to be the main player in the Al Nassr team.

No doubt Ronaldo has done so much good to the Saudi Professional League. He deserves to be respected by both the players and the management of the League. But his excesses couid destroy what he has built. There are reports of him interfering in the club's selection and not giving coaches due respect. Some players of Al Nassr might not also be pleased with the excessive privileges he enjoys and the club could start facing disunity. I think he should allow the coaches do their job and he should stop recommending his friends to the club's leadership positions. It might be seen as nepotism and overdue influence.
