Barcelona will be unable to sign players until January 2016 once the current transfer window shuts after world governing body Fifa rejected the club's appeal against a transfer ban.

The Spaniards were given the 14-month ban after being found to have breached rules on signing international players under the age of 18.

The ban was suspended as they appealed, allowed them to sign Luis Suarez.

And the ban will not start until the next transfer window, early next year.

It means their summer acquisitions will be unaffected and the Catalan club could, if they wanted, sign more players before the transfer window ends on 31 August.

Will hurt them quite a lot. Barcelona often see quite a lot of players come and go in the summer, particularly if they've been (relatively) unsuccessful the year before. Now that's not an option - although the CAS could end up overturning the ban of course.

It's good to see that FIFA have upheld the transfer embargo because there hadn't been any talk about this after the initial ban had been announced

Saying that, you always get the impression allowances are made for Barca, would the appeal would have taken so long to process had it been another club?
