Payment not made: Ronaldo club temporarily suspended by FIFA

class=”sc-29f61514-0 fQbOYE”>

The criticism of the Saudi transfers is great, there is talk of circumventing financial fair play. And now, of all people, Cristiano Ronaldo’s employer Al-Nassr is offering the critics a treat. The club from the capital Riyadh was temporarily suspended by FIFA on Wednesday for three transfer periods for violations of financial regulations. This applies to both domestic and international bills of exchange.

The reason is an overdue payment of 460,000 euros to Leicester City for the transfer of Ahmed Musa (30) from 2018. The matter came to the public in 2021, when FIFA already warned the club to block them. In addition to the ban, Al-Nassr officials have now been warned that the case will go to FIFA’s disciplinary committee if payment is still not made at the end of the transfer ban.

However, the CR7 club is certain that the suspension will be lifted. The association points out that the transfer of Musa and the associated payments were made before the acquisition by the Public Investment Fund PIF. However, those responsible now want to immediately initiate payment to have the suspension lifted, otherwise the new players around Marcelo Brozovic (30, comes from Inter) will not be allowed to register.
