Barcelona said that the club could make a new appeal to a Swiss court against the disproportionate one year transfer ban ordered by FIFA.
The La Liga outfit said that it totally disagrees with the FIFA ban upheld on Tuesday by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
FIFA punished Barca over the signings of players aged under-18, with the ban covering two transfer windows, which means that the team cannot sign a player until January 2016, Sport24 reported.
Barca said in a statement that the club wishes to state, with all due respect for the sports authorities, that it totally disagrees with the verdict of the CAS. The club acknowledged that it had made errors but claimed that these were of an administrative nature.
Barca claimed that the errors to a large extent have been caused by the existing conflict between the FIFA regulations and Spanish legislation, along with the club's conviction that it was acting correctly.
Barca stated that the club considers the sanction to be completely disproportionate and excessive. They said that when it had the full details of the CAS ruling, it would study and assess the various legal options available, including the possibility of using the CAS arbitration route to the Swiss Federal Tribunal.
