Al-Nasser is Banned from Signing New Players by FIFA
Al-Nasser, the Saudi Arabian football club has been banned by FIFA from registering any new players. The suspension was caused by the failure to repay £390,000 to Leister City. The add-on payment is charged as a transfer fee for Ahmed Musa, who joined the club, Al-Nasser in the year 2018.
As per the records, the club has been told by the officials about the payment back in 2021. The club was aware that they have to repay Leister City as a transfer money of Musa.
The club was also warned about the later consequences. As a result of the failure of payment, the club now can not sign any new players for the next upcoming three registration cycles.

Soon after, Al-Nasser has signed other sensational football talents in the club including Karim Benzema and Roberto Firmino.
The club has also assigned Luís Castro as a coach and confirmed in Portugal during a training camp, though the length of the termination is still not disclosed.

Ahmed Musa is a Nigerian footballer, who primarily plays as a left winger and forward signed by Al-Nasser in the year 2018 with a deal of $18 million annually, won the league with the club. Lately, after 2 years the club released him.
According to FIFA, the International Federation of Association Football has told that the Saudi football club Al-Nasser has failed to pay Musa’s previous club Leister City some amount around $507,702 which was got charged in terms of add-on fees and added interest.
As per the reports, the ban is going to remain for “three consecutive registration periods”, although the officials from the Saudi club have established a statement assuring that the club will pay the fee so that the ban could be lifted from the club.
Al-Nasser is one of the top four Saudi clubs who is nationalized recently in the last month by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth Public Investment Fund, PIF. The asset of around $700 billion was claimed by the PIF of Saudi Arabia, handled by the crowned Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud.
