Saudi football club Al-Nasr could find itself in trouble due to an active financial investigation being conducted against it.
The club has debts exceeding $213 million, and Saudi media reports that the Financial Control Committee is conducting an active financial investigation against the club as a result.
Al-Nasr is now unable to bring in players or renew the contracts of players already at the club.
The club ended up buying Samu Costa, reaching the transfer limit this transfer window, and all subsequent deals are under investigation. And that's where things get serious.
"Thamanya" explains that the rules are such that if it is determined that the limit has been exceeded and the debt has increased, Al-Nasr can first be punished by deducting points, but that the punishment can be far more drastic and that Al-Nasr can even be expelled from the domestic championship if it signs any contract with a player before receiving approval from the Financial Control Committee.
The authorization must be issued before any work is carried out - bringing in a new player or extending the contract with a first-team or academy player.
Expulsion from the league would be the ultimate punishment for a drastic violation of the rules, but even simply deducting points would be problematic for a club trying to defend its title.
