Real Madrid will take transfer ban case to Court of Arbitration for Sport
Real Madrid are appealing to the Court of Arbitration for Sport over their two-window transfer ban. Los Blancos have been hit by a FIFA sanction like that Barcelona suffered in 2014. They released a statement reading:
"In light of today's decision by the FIFA Appeal Committee, Real Madrid C. F. wishes to communicate the following:
"1. The club regrets said decision, understanding it to be deeply unjust and contrary to the fundamental principles of disciplinary law.
"2. The club will begin the appropriate appeals procedure before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), requesting that the decision be completely overturned, with absolute confidence that said organisation will come to an entirely favourable decision.
"3. Real Madrid C. F. will request that the procedure be undertaken in an urgent manner in order to obtain a decision from the CAS as quickly as possible."
