FIFA temporarily lifts Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid transfer ban

FIFA has temporarily lifted the transfer bans imposed last week on La Liga sides Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid while world football's governing body investigates the club appeals regarding the signing of youth players.

Atletico Madrid communicated the news to supporters via Twitter, while Real Madrid later released a statement on their website.

Real Madrid statement on their website reads; we would like to communicate that the FIFA appeals committee has decided to temporarily suspend the sanctions imposed on the club."

The FIFA appeals committee informed the clubs of the news on Friday. 

Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid were banned this month by FIFA from registering new players for two transfer windows after FIFA ruled that both clubs violated regulations against signing young international players.
