The decision relates to a former Premier League signing by Al Nassr, Ahmed Musah. Al Nassr has been dealt a major blow after being hit with a FIFA ban that prevents them from registering new players.

The Saudi Pro League side was one of the first to make a big-name signing. Cristiano Ronaldo joined the club after leaving Manchester United mutually in November. A number of other high-profile players have joined the league, including Karim Benzema and N'Godo Kant�. Marcelo Brozovi recently joined Al Nassr from Champions League finalists Inter Milan.

However, FIFA�s ban means that the Saudi Pro League side won�t be able to add any new players to their roster. Their decision was made in relation to the club�s failure to play Leicester City and the add-ons part of their deal to sign forward Ahmed Musa.

Musa joined the Foxes after their title-winning season in 2016 but failed to adapt to life in England and subsequently moved to the Middle East for �14 million in 2018. He played 60 times for the club, winning the league, before being released two years later.

An official ruling from the world governing body says that Al Nassr failed to pay �460k (�390k) plus interest on performance-related add-ons. They were initially told in October 2021 that they would be banned if they failed to pay Leicester the outstanding amount. They have now been punished, meaning they will be unable to sign any more players, both domestically and internationally.

FIFA stated that the ban would last for three consecutive transfer and registration windows. They have been warned that it would be taken to the FIFA Disciplinary Committee if they hadn�t paid Leicester by the end of the ban.

Al Nassr added that the incident occurred before the Saudi Public Investment Fund�s takeover. They also added that the existing structure in place will enable them to pay Leicester to lift the ban.
