Overview

• FIFA formally notified Newell’s on September 10 that the club cannot register players for the next three transfer periods, roughly 18 months.
• The measure stems from a complaint by Liverpool of Uruguay over an alleged unpaid obligation tied to the transfer of Juan Ignacio Ramírez.
• Newell’s issued a statement acknowledging the sanction, calling it “arbitrary” and saying the de‑registration process is already in motion to remove it.
• Local reports cite an administrative banking problem in an international transfer, with TyC Sports reporting the payment was deposited but credited late.
• If the ban remains in effect, Newell’s would be unable to add reinforcements in three upcoming windows as club officials work to resolve the dispute.
