Barcelona will now definitively be unable to sign any more players until January 2016. On Tuesday, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) rejected Barca’s appeal against a two-window transfer ban, after the Catalans had been found guilty by Fifa of signing underage overseas players. "CAS has dismissed the appeal filed by FC Barcelona against Fifa regarding the decision issued by the Fifa Appeals Committee on August 19, 2014," said a CAS statement. "The panel found in particular that FC Barcelona had breached the rules regarding the protection of minors and the registration of minors attending football academies ... Accordingly, the Fifa decision is confirmed in full and the sanction remains in force."
This is a hammer blow to Barcelona and will allow Madrid to further increase the widening gap between them and their rivals Real Madrid as Madrid continue to rapidly progress in all competitions.
