OFFICIAL: Real Madrid's transfer ban reduced and they will be able to sign next summer

OFFICIAL: Real Madrid's transfer ban has been reduced to just one transfer window, meaning that they can sign in the next summer transfer window.

eal Madird official statement:

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has today informed Real Madrid C. F. of their decision by which they have partially upheld the appeal lodged by the club against the FIFA resolution which imposed a sanction forbidding the signing of players for two transfer windows, reducing said sanction to just one period, corresponding to the January 2017 transfer window.

The decision highlights the injustice of the original ban imposed by FIFA, although the club regrets that the CAS lacked the courage to revoke the ruling entirely.

Both Los Blancos and their city rivals were banned for two transfer windows from registering new players as a result of breaching rules in relation to the signing of minors.

That ban was suspended last summer as the result of an appeal and although it was upheld by world football's governing body last September, Real Madrid lodged an appeal with the TAS, which is set to see the ban pass next summer.
