Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr given boost as club could receive massive cash injection ahead of the summer transfer window - Reports

Cristiano Ronaldo's club Al-Nassr have been given a financial boost ahead of the summer transfer window, as the Saudi Arabian giants look set to finish second in the league. It has been a busy season for the side, who have racked up 77 points from 31 games and sit 12 points behind Al-Hilal who are unbeaten this season.

Al Nassr's performances on the pitch have been impressive, thanks to a solid season from Cristiano Ronaldo and his goalscoring abilities. However, the boardroom has seen its fair share of turmoil, with CEO Guido Fienga in legal trouble (via Essentially Sports). He has also been a controversial figure in the club, having reduced players' bonuses without explanation.

However, these concerns could be behind them by the summer, according to new reports from Saudi daily Okaz (via Nfcdiario). Al-Nassr could see a new face in the boardroom, as Ibrahim Al-Muhaidib, head of the Al-Muhaidib group, is looking to bring financial support to the club in his bid to become the board's president.

It is unclear how much the potential president wants to invest in the club, but it could be a big boost. The previous president, Musalli Al Muammar, notably resigned from his role at the club, which has opened up opportunities for the Al-Muhaidib's conglomerate (via Essentially Sports).
