Girondins de Bordeaux suffered another major setback when FIFA placed the club on its list of teams banned from signing new players on March 27. The organization states on its website that this sanction applies to the next three transfer windows. It stems from a case filed with FIFA by the Spanish club Gijón, which is seeking €1.5 million from Bordeaux in connection with the 2023 transfer of midfielder Pedro Diaz.
The Girondins have challenged this ban, as the club’s lawyer, Matthieu Barandas, told Sud Ouest on Thursday, and plan to file two appeals before the next transfer window to overturn it: first with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), and then with national courts. “We are still relatively calm and believe we are in the right legally,” the lawyer told the local media outlet on Thursday.
