The Saudi Pro League has attracted many players since Ronaldo joined Al Nassr last December in a mega deal.
Al Nassr, who finished second in the league last season, were banned by FIFA earlier this month from registering new players due to outstanding debts.
According to reports, the outstanding debts were related to the transfer of Ahmed Musa, who moved to Al Nassr from Leicester City in 2018.
In a ruling in October 2021, FIFA said Al Nassr still had to pay a sum of €460,000 ($513,544) to Leicester for the signing of Musa, who played 62 games for the Saudi Arabian club in all competitions, scoring 14 goals, before leaving in 2020.
