Jorge Jesus has claimed that Al-Hilal hold a financial advantage over Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr, insisting his side are operating with “more economic power” than their Riyadh rivals.
Speaking about the balance of power in the Saudi Pro League, the Al-Hilal coach made it clear he believes his club are better placed in the market, even with Al-Nassr boasting the global profile of Ronaldo.
Jesus said Al-Hilal have “more economic power” than Al-Nassr, underlining the difference he feels between the two clubs when it comes to resources.
The Portuguese coach’s comments come as the league continues to draw major names and investment, with the leading clubs competing not only on the pitch but also in the battle to secure top talent.
Ronaldo remains the face of Al-Nassr’s project, but Jesus’ remarks highlight the view from Al-Hilal that their spending strength and structure give them an edge in building and maintaining a squad capable of competing for the biggest honours.
