Last week, former presidential candidate Toni Freixa brought to light one fact that could change Barcelona's season: the fact that the club could request the registration of new signing Arda Turan before the month of January, an exceptional case due to the season-ending injury to Rafinha Alcântara.
"The club may register a substitute for Rafinha. Article 124.3 of Regulation RFEF is very clear and FIFA has no competition here. In this case it would be the RFEF who is granting the license to the new player or deny it. If denied it can be appealed but never to FIFA.
