Leksand extended the winning streak beat AIK

World football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo cannot yet play at Al-Nassr because the Saudi club has exceeded its quota of foreign players, club officials told AFP on Thursday (January 5th). Cristiano Ronaldo, whose contract until June 2025 is estimated at 200 million euros, is the ninth foreign player to join Al-Nassr, exceeding the maximum of eight allowed by the Saudi Football Federation. “ Al Nassr hasn’t registered him yet as there is no vacancy for a foreign player “, told AFP a club official, on condition of anonymity, not being authorized to speak to the media. According to Saudi media, Uzbek midfielder Jalaluddin Masharipov is most likely to make way for the five-time Ballon d’Or and five-time Champions League winner.
