FIFA imposes sanctions on Ronaldo’s club Al Nassr over Ahmed Musa transfer

The world football governing body, FIFA, has imposed sanctions on Al Nassr over transfer fee add-ons involving Super Eagles captain, Ahmed Musa.

The Saudi Arabian side, which has Cristiano Ronaldo on its books, have now been banned from registering new players ahead of the new league season.

Al-Nassr are yet to pay Leicester City the money they owe them over Musa’s transfer.

Musa linked up with Al Nassr in a well celebrated move in 2018 after impressing at the World Cup in Russia.

Al Nassr paid Leicester City €16.50m to secure the services of Musa.

The former Saudi Pro League champions are however yet to pay the add-ons, despite The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruling.

Al-Nassr were ordered to pay the Foxes €460,000 in performance-related add-ons.

The Saudi Arabian giants failure to obey CAS’ ruling has forced FIFA to ban them from registering new players ahead of the new season.
