Real Madrid have had their two-window transfer ban reduced to one by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, the club have announced.
The La Liga giants will be prevented from bringing in fresh faces during the upcoming January window, but will be free to add again from next summer.
A statement released on the club’s official website read: “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.”
