Lifted bans for the Madrid clubs

FIFA has temporarily lifted the transfer bans imposed last week on La Liga clubs sides Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid while world's football governing body investigates the club appeals regarding the signing of youth players. The FIFA appeals committee informed the clubs of the news on Friday.
Now both clubs can sign players while FIFA makes a determination on the appeal. Madrid clubs had not been banned signing players during this current transfer window, but the original sanction applied for the 2016 summer and 2017 winter transfer window. Should FIFA not make a decision on the appeal by the beginning of this summer, both clubs should be eligible to sign new players during the 2016 summer window. However, if FIFA ultimately find that both clubs did in fact violate the regulations against signing young internationals, both clubs could be dealt transfer bans for the duration of two transfer windows.
