Al Nassr Transfer Ban: Cristiano Ronaldo’s Requests for 2023-24 Season, FIFA Punishment, and Debts with Leicester City

After how bad his first season at Al Nassr was, Cristiano Ronaldo asked the high command of the Saudi Arabian club to put together a great team for 2023-24. The wishes of the Portuguese star began to be fulfilled with the signing of the Croatian Marcelo Brozovic. However, the hiring of the former Inter Milan would be the only one that the ‘Bug’ sees this year after FIFA punished the Riyadh institution without being able to sign for the next three market windows. According to the information presented this Wednesday by the Mirror newspaper, everything is due to an old debt that the Arabs have with Leicester City.

According to the English media, Al Nassr had to pay the Premier League team just over 15 million euros for the transfer of striker Ahmed Musa, which was closed in 2018. Of that amount, there are 460,000 euros plus interest on accessories related to the performance of the player that the Arabs have not paid.

In October 2021, FIFA warned Al Nassr that a transfer ban would be placed on them if they failed to pay Leicester the outstanding amount. Now it is believed that they did not comply with the ruling and they were banned from signing players nationally and internationally. No one arrives in the next three windows.

According to Al Nassr, the problem arose before the acquisition of the club by the Public Investment Fund (PIF). It has been reported that the new team structure will ensure no repeat, while Musa’s payment will be paid immediately to lift the ban.

In the current transfer market, Al Nassr has continued his big spending, bringing in Marcelo Brozovic from Inter Milan, while Italian international Domenico Berardi and Chelsea player Hakim Ziyech are on the reinforcements schedule.
