stock up on players ahead of their transfer ban as La Liga
has extended the deadline for the current window by 24
hours.
The capital clubs are able to purchase players in the
January window, but will not be allowed to register anyone
for the following two transfer periods, having been handed a
ban by Fifa after they were found to have breached rules on
the signing of youth players.
The two sides are expected to add fresh faces this month in
order to boost their chances of success throughout their
transfer ban in case their appeals are denied.
The original deadline in Spain was 23.59 CET on January 31,
but a statement released by the league on Monday
confirmed the change.
"La Liga reports on the change in the closing date of the
second registration period of players for the 2015/2016," the
statement read.
"The application for licenses of players for the Liga BBVA
and Liga Adelante will end next Monday, February 1 at
23:59, thus coinciding with the time limit set in most
European professional leagues."
La Liga's date now matches that of the Premier League,
Serie A and Ligue 1, while Bundesliga clubs can conduct
business until February 2.
The Spanish window closing earlier than other countries'
caused controversy last summer when Real Madrid failed to
sign David De Gea from Manchester United because the
paperwork was not processed on
