Former Real Madrid president slams FIFA over transfer ban
Former Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has slammed FIFA for lack of flexibility to impose transfer ban on the club.
Both Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are banned from registering new players for next two transfer windows, starting from the summer, after they have been charged for breaching the regulations, relating to the registration of players under the age of 18 outside from Spain.

Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have decided to appeal against the transfer ban, and Calderon has suggested that FIFA needs to adopt flexible approach.
“I think FIFA should be more flexible with the interpretation of the rule.
“Almost all the children come here to fulfil a dream, to forget a difficult situation. And here, they can have a hope. During my nine years in Real Madrid, the club has given everything to them in terms of their sport and personal education.

“We take care of them given an opportunity, so maybe there are some cases where Madrid has broken the rules but I think FIFA should manage this matter with more flexibility.”
“He was a great player which gives him a huge advantage to know how to manage these kinds of players, he knows how it is working in a changing room with a lot of stars.
“All the players have worked with him and he has their respect. So he has the chance to get success but he is going to need a bit of luck.
Bayern Munich general manager Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has brushed off the suggestions that Bayern Munich’s complaint to FIFA has led to the Real Madrid transfer ban.
Bayern has nothing to do with it,” Rummenigge told AS.
“This rumour is simply a lie. As is known, the relationship between the two clubs is very good.”
