Barcelona are expected to learn by December 31 the extent of their transfer ban.

Barca have appealed against the 2015 ban, which would see them prevented from making signings in both of the year's transfer windows.

Ara says Barca will find out before December 31 if the transfer ban imposed will be reviewed.

The Spanish giants hope to be allowed to work the summer market next year.
