Overview

• Newell’s confirmed via an official statement that FIFA notified the club of an inhibition covering the next three transfer periods.
• The restriction stems from a complaint by Liverpool (Uruguay) over alleged nonpayment related to the January 2024 transfer of forward Juan Ignacio Ramírez.
• Reports cite a $4 million deal for the player and a claim of roughly $2 million outstanding, while Newell’s says the money was deposited late due to banking delays.
• In its statement, the club called the sanction “arbitrary” and said it expects to be able to register players in the next window once the process concludes.
• If the measure is not lifted promptly, Newell’s would face an approximate 18‑month bar on signings that could complicate squad planning for upcoming competitions.
