More talks are expected today over Carlos Tevez's controversial move to Manchester United.
It was agreed to take a considered view and not make a snap judgement following representation from the Football Association and the Premier League.
A meeting of the three organisations' legal teams in Zurich broke up on Monday afternoon with the situation left unresolved.
An FA spokesman said: "The meeting has taken place and left with FIFA to take a decision.
"We are waiting to hear from them and to see what they consider is the most appropriate way forward."
