After the Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo signed a fantasy contract with the Saudi club Al-Nasr for two and a half years for more than 200 million euros, and the arrival of the 37-year-old player's international card from England on Wednesday evening

However, the club will not be able to benefit from the services of its new Portuguese player Cristiano Ronaldo, because he has not yet been registered in its list with the Saudi Football Federation because there is no vacancy for a foreign player, which prevents him from playing official matches, according to two officials who asked not to be named at the Gulf Club .

The list of Al-Nasr, nicknamed in Saudi Arabia as"al-Alami", includes 8 foreign players, which is the maximum allowed by the regulations governing the Saudi league.

"It is necessary to leave a foreign player to register Ronaldo, whether by sale or by termination of the contract by mutual consent,"the source added. The second source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed that the "Madeira rocket" was not registered until Thursday afternoon, despite the arrival of his card.

"There are ongoing negotiations to sell one of the players, but they have not reached the final stages yet.

Reports in the local media indicated that Uzbek Masharipov is the closest to leaving for a local club.

The two officials confirmed that Ronaldo will not participate on Thursday  Al-Nasr  meeting against Al-Tai to calculate the twelfth round of the league, which starts at six o'clock local time, due to his lack of registration.

The officials declined to confirm whether the player's card came with a two-match ban or not.

Ronaldo was handed a two-match ban last November for smashing a mobile phone in the hands of a child of an English Everton fan after the match that his former club Manchester United lost last April.

An official of the Saudi Football Federation referred to Al-Nasr Club in response to a question about the registration of the"Don" or the arrival of his card accompanied by the penalty of the two matches.

All tickets for the meeting, which will be held at the Victory Stadium "Messenger Park", which can accommodate more than 25 thousand spectators, have run out.

Al-Nasr is at the top of the Saudi league with 26 points in 11 games.

Al-Nasr fans are expected to raise a special TiVo (a logo drawn by fans on the runway) bearing Ronaldo's words at his presentation ceremony "I am my world," according to people close to the Al-Nasr Fans Association.
