Al Nassr of Saudi Arabia has received very bad news for this season, as it was announced that the Portuguese footballer and new star of the team, Cristiano Ronaldo, will not be able to debut yet due to a sanction that he must comply with when he was still a member. in the English Premier League.
The problem is due to the fact that the Portuguese attacker will have to serve a two-match ban that he did not carry out when English Manchester United was still a part, so his long-awaited debut in the Arab league will have to wait, according to AFP after talking a member of Al Nassr.
The historic five-time Ballon d’Or winner was punished by the Premier League last November when he knocked over an Everton fan’s cell phone during one of the league games. The English Football Federation issued a statement stating that the sanction must be applied to Ronaldo in whatever country he is in, even so he will end his agreement with Manchester United.
“This suspension will be applicable once it is officially registered,” the head of Al Nassr told the news agency.
Ronaldo was presented this week as the new great signing of the Saudi Arabian team after signing until the 2025 season in exchange for 200 million euros, in one of the most important agreements in history.
It is important to note that Cristiano has not yet been registered for the team because Al Nassr must part with one of its eight foreign players so that he can be present in the squad; Eight foreigners are the maximum number allowed in the country.
Cristiano Ronaldo arrived at the Arab club after a resounding departure from Manchester United and before the refusal of the main teams in Europe to take over his services, considering that the signing was too expensive for the level that the Portuguese was presenting.
