Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have both denied Spanish media reports that they could face a FIFA transfer ban for breaching rules for signing U18 players.
The statement read: "The cited information is completely false, as evidenced by the fact the Spanish Football Federation have denied to different media sources that Real Madrid are implicated in any irregularity in the signing of minors.
"Real Madrid reiterates that it has always complied scrupulously respected FIFA's rules."
Atletico have also denied being aware of any potential ban.
"We have not received any notification by FIFA or by the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) regarding the reports that are circulating in the Spanish media," Atletico press officer Juan Jose Anaut said. "We want to state that we have cooperated with FIFA at all times.
"We believe we have followed the correct steps when it comes to licencing under age players as we have followed the guidelines of the RFEF and the Madrid Football Federation just as FIFA stipulates in order for licences to be approved."
“We are not in a position to comment on any proceedings that are ongoing,” a FIFA spokesman said. “No further information can be provided for the time-being."
