La Liga president says Barcelona has a right to register Arda Turan

Barcelona are gaining momentum in their quest to register Arda Turan.

The Catalan giants have made several requests to FIFA in order to get the Turkish midfielder on the books before the January registration period, thanks to a special clause on the Spanish Federation regulation that allows, but football's governing body reportedly denied all of them, maintaining their transfer ban on the Blaugrana, even though that ban no longer applies, which is a ridiculous thing that only FIFA can pull off.

Barça have decided then to take the case to the Court of Abritration for Sport, and they received a huge amount of support from the Spanish Federation, that met and decided to back the Blaugrana on the issue.
