Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr under provisional transfer ban - FIFA

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Saudi club Al-Nassr are banned from registering new players until unpaid debts are settled, FIFA said yesterday.   
The team “is currently prevented from registering new players due to outstanding debts”, a FIFA spokesperson told AFP, without revealing the amount of the debts.   

World football’s governing body did not say whether Croatia midfielder Marcelo Brozovic’s recent transfer from Inter Milan would be affected by the sanction.   

“The relevant bans will be lifted immediately upon the settlement of the debts being confirmed by the creditors concerned,” the spokesperson added.   In October 2021, Al-Nassr were ordered by a FIFA-appointed judge to pay Leicester City 460,000 euros ($514,000) plus interest in a dispute over the transfer of Nigeria international Ahmed Musa.   (AFP)
