Goodnews For Madrid As Transfer Ban Gets Reduced

Real Madrid's transfer ban, has been reduced with the club now being able to sign new players next summer. Real had been punished for breaching rules over the transfers of foreign players under the age of 18. The La Liga giants revealed the news via a statement on their official website.

The statement read in part - "The Court of Arbitration for Sports (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 statement read.

This new 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.
