By Chris Waugh Barcelona have had their appeal against a two-window transfer ban rejected by FIFA following a hearing on Wednesday. The Spanish giants will be barred from signing players in the next two transfer windows - taking them through until January 2016 - after breaching transfer conditions to do with 'the protection of minors'. But the club have confirmed that they will now take their case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in order to have the ban overturned.
