World football governing body FIFA has slammed a transfer ban on Ahmed Musa former club Al Nassr of Saudi Arabia for not complying with financial obligations to Ahmed Musa and others.
Musa and three others dragged the football team to FIFA over failure to meet up with financial terms of their exit from the club after mutually agreeing to terminate their deals before the end. The case of Musa was cited as the main reason behind the sanction.
A spokesman of FIFA said the ban will be effective from the start of the next registration period and it will for now apply for three consecutive registration period leaving space for the club to appeal the decision.
However Al Nassr through it’s general supervisor of media and communication AbdulRahman AlSheri insist they have settled all their financial obligations to the captain of the senior national team of Nigeria.
“ Referring to the news about FIFA sanctions on the club regarding failure to pay the dues agreed in the termination of the contract with Ahmed Musa, we clarify that this news is incorrect, that the club has committed itself to pay all the payments stipulated in the clearance agreement with the player on time and all proof of payment have been sent to the player”, he said.
