Luis Suarez's lawyer will appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) against the four-month ban imposed by Fifa on the Uruguay striker. Suarez was banned for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup.
An initial appeal against the 27-year-old's ban was rejected by Fifa.
Speaking before Suarez's move to Barcelona from Liverpool, Suarez's lawyer Alejandro Balbi said: "We hope they revoke this sanction."
"[It] is blatantly draconian, totalitarian and fascist," Balbi told Spanish radio station Cope.
"The right of a footballer to work is being violated, and football should be worried about that. The nine international games may seem excessive, but the fact that he can't watch a game of football, or train or carry out his job - we are talking about unpleasant things."
