Federation of International Football, FIFA has banned Cristiano Ronaldo’s club, Al’Nassr following its failure to pay money involving, Ahmed Musa, Super Eagle captain, transfer to the club. The World Football governing body has banned the Al’NAssr from further signing of any new player into the club Saudi Pro League. FIFA sanctioned followed failure by Al’Nassr to pay Leicester City money they owe them over Ahmed Musa transfer.


Musa was signed at the cost of €16.50m in a deal in 2018 shortly after impressing the club at the World Cup played in Russia. 

Accordingly, despite the order of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruling, the Knights of Naja though have paid the transfer fee, but they are yet to pay the add-ons. 

According to Ben Jacobs, Al-Nassr was ordered to pay the Foxes €460,000 in performance-related add-ons. 

However, the Saudi Arabian giants are yet to fulfil part of their bargain in the CAS’ ruling, compeling FIFA to ban them from registering new players ahead of the new season.
