Cristiano Ronaldo left Manchester United late last year and is yet to debut for his new club.
Ronaldo was officially presented as an Al-Nassr player on Tuesday after signing a two-year contract with the Saudi outfit, who have reportedly made the 37-year-old the highest-paid player in football history.
However, the 37-year-old is still waiting to make his debut for his new club.
This is because CR7 will have to serve a two-game FA ban he was handed as a Manchester United player. He was punished for smashing an Everton fan’s phone as he walked off the field after a match at Goodison Park in April last year.
There are other factors preventing Ronaldo from being registered with the Saudi FA.
One of these is a foreign player will have to leave Al-Nassr as there are already eight on their books excluding the Portuguese, and the club will have to get a Certificate of Competence from the Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF) by granting dues to employees in the football sector.
