Atletico Madrid will lodge their appeal against FIFA's transfer ban on Monday.

AS reports on Monday morning at the Château de Béthusy in Switzerland, the headquarters of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), a delegation from Atlético Madrid will seek to appeal a transfer ban imposed by FIFA in January 2016.

The club's lawyer Christian Keidel was confident that Atlético would be successful, as “the origin of the problem is situated in Spanish law and the regulations of its federation, not the behaviour of Atlético towards these players."

Keidel continued, “Basically the FIFA rule is you cannot sign young foreign players to protect these kids. But the rule does not stand when the player already lives in that country for another reason… most of their players are foreign, but were born in Spain."
