How Real Madrid will fight to ensure they can buy in summer?
Real Madrid will fight to ensure that they can register new players in the summer, according to a leading sports lawyer.
Real Madrid and their local rivals Atletico Madrid were slapped with the transfer ban for next two windows, after they violate rules over the registration of footballers under the age of 18 outside from Spain. Los Blncos has rejected the FIFA charges leveled against them and has announced that they will appeal.

Thomas Barnard, sports specialist solicitor at Thomas Eggar, has issued warning that this could have major impact on the Premier League, as Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is keen on signing Eden Hazard and David de Gea.
Just like their arch rivals Barcelona, Real Madrid are likely to appeal at Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to allow them to register new players in the Summer 2016, before the ban take place. Barcelona used to same tactics to sign former Liverpool striker Luis Suarez and Ivan Rakitic.

This isn’t the first time in recent memory that Real Madrid has been punished for fielding illegible players,” he said. “In December they fielded the suspended Denis Cheryshev in a Copa Del Rey match and were promptly expelled from the competition.
While the precise dealings that Real and Atletico have been sanctioned for have not yet been revealed, they have both strongly rejected FIFA’s claims and intimated that they will appeal the bans.
“An appeal, ultimately to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) is likely. R48 of the CAS code allows appellants to request to stay the execution of the decision appealed against.
“If Real and Atletico wish to give themselves the 2016 Summer transfer window to assure their position before the bans take effect, a well-timed appeal could allow a reprieve to flex their financial might and stock up on players.”
