January is the crucial period when clubs can make mid-season transfers, making any restrictions particularly unwelcome. However, two La Liga clubs have found themselves in hot water.
Details: According to Marca, FIFA has imposed transfer bans on Rayo Vallecano and Mallorca. Both clubs were reportedly caught off guard by the announcements on FIFA’s website. Mallorca claims the situation is due to a mistake, asserting that any outstanding issues have already been resolved.
Meanwhile, Marca sources within FIFA indicate that the sanctions are linked to unpaid solidarity payments—funds owed to clubs responsible for developing the players in question.
Reminder: It was recently reported that Real Madrid will abstain from making winter transfers, despite suffering a painful defeat to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final.
