FIFA has sanctioned Cristiano Ronaldo’s Saudi Arabian club, Al-Nassr, over an issue involving Super Eagles Captain, Ahmed Musa.
The world football governing body has banned the club from registering any new signing for the new Saudi Pro-League.
Al-Nassr failed to pay Leicester City the money he owes the club over Musa’s transfer.
Musa signed for the Saudi Arabian Pro-League side in a €16.50m deal in 2018, shortly after his impressive at the World Cup in Russia.
The Knights of Naja paid the transfer fee, but yet to pay the add-ons, despite the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruling.
Al-Nassr was ordered to pay the Foxes €460,000 in performance-related add-ons.
However, the Saudi Arabian giants failed to obey CAS’ ruling, forcing FIFA to ban them from registering new players ahead of the new season.
