Real Madrid is in hot water after FIFA decided to investigate their transfer regulation rules. According to Remezcla, the results were nothing but a negative taunt to the Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid's organization after they were prohibited from signing players during the next two transfer windows. Despite the ban, Real Madrid can still sign players on the current window.

The investigation came from Real Madrid's violation of transferring minors under the age of 18. Article 19 of FIFA Transfer Regulations on Protection of Minors, as per ESPN, states that international transfers of players are only permitted if the player is over the age of 18, except if the player is a national of the country.

An exception to the rule includes the transfer of the player's parents to the new club with reasons other than football. The transfer should also be within the European Economic Area or the European Union. The player must be also be 16 to 18 years old to forego the rule.

In a tweet shared by the FIFA Media, it said, "The protection of minors is of major importance for FIFA. FIFATMS helps to ensure compliance Regulations." While both teams are currently enjoying the advantage of still being able to join the current transfer window, the possibility of not being able to power up their roster will begin after the 2016-2017 season.

According to Remezcla, the two teams were fined. Atletico received a staggering fine of $900,000 Swiss francs, while Real Madrid received a fine of $300,000 Swiss francs. Apparently, Real Madrid's woes against the FIFA organization started when they signed minor Luca Zidane, son of current Los Blancos manager Zinedine Zidane.

Minor Latino players also played a big part on the said ban. Despite not signing La Fabrica, Real Madrid's Academy, they also went through trials with the club. Such players include Benjamin Garay, the 15-year-old prodigy hailing from Rosario, Argentina. Other includes 16-year-olds Fernando Macias and Manuel Godoy from Venezuela. The last to complete the said questioned transfer regulation is Paolo Medina, who was invited to do a trial in April.

All recruited players came from different countries, which basically violated Article 19 of the FIFA Transfer Regulations, which said, "The conditions of this article shall also apply to any player who has never previously been registered with a club and is not a national of the country in which he wishes to be registered for the first time."
