Riyadh Clubs Face Transfer Ban Over Unpaid Dues
23 Dec
Summary
- Al-Nassr faces a transfer ban due to an unpaid installment.
- Manchester City was owed €9 million for the Laporte transfer.
- A past ban was lifted after paying nearly €2 million in bonuses.

As the January transfer window opens, Riyadh faces potential new player arrivals, though Al-Nassr is currently under a transfer ban. Reports indicate the sanction is due to an unpaid financial obligation concerning the August 2023 transfer of Aymeric Laporte from Manchester City.
The Premier League club was expecting an installment of €9 million by August 31, which was reportedly not met. This has led FIFA to impose a ban on Al-Nassr.
This is not the first time the club has faced such sanctions. In July 2023, a ban was issued over financial irregularities concerning a 2018 transfer, which was later lifted after payments totaling nearly €2 million were made.
