New report: FIFA gives middle finger to the law, won't allow Barcelona to register Arda Turan

You want some contradicting updates on the Arda Turan Registration Saga? You got it!

A report from Catalan radio Cadena SER claimed that Barcelona would be able to succeed in their request to register the Turkish international to replace Rafinha Alcântara after his long-term injury, which is clearly stated in the law. But the Catalan giants asked for the approval of FIFA, who handed them a transfer ban and could get mad had they not been asked about this.

But now radio COPE is reporting that football's governing body already answered Barça's call.
