Ronaldo Opposes Benzema's Al-Hilal Move, Citing 'Fair Competition' Concerns

• Karim Benzema is reportedly in negotiations to join Saudi Pro League leaders Al-Hilal after a fallout with his current club, Al-Ittihad.
• Cristiano Ronaldo, captain of Al-Nassr, strongly opposes Benzema's potential transfer, arguing it would 'damage the fair competition environment' in the league.
• Benzema, the 2022 Ballon d'Or winner, has scored eight goals in 14 league games but has been sidelined for Al-Ittihad's last two matches.
• Media reports suggest Benzema is unhappy with a proposed contract extension from Al-Ittihad, with his camp calling a new offer 'insulting'.
• Both Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad, along with Al-Nassr, are owned by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), which fuels Ronaldo's frustration over perceived unequal backing.
