FIFA verdict
In addition to FC Barcelona with the botched signing of Julián Araujo (21; LA Galaxy) on Deadline Day, league competitor Real Valladolid is also struggling with a transfer mishap. The Blanquivioletas announced the loan of Jovane Cabral (24) from Sporting Lisbon on the last day of the winter change period, but now have to plan without the attacker because he is not allowed to change. That was decided by FIFA, as Valladolid announced. Similar to the Araujo case, the reason for this is that documents were submitted too late.
On Friday, the club was officially informed by world football’s governing body that an application for a special permit for Cabral’s registration had been denied, a statement said. The table-17. LaLiga made no secret of the fact that documents had been submitted late, “but due to technical errors beyond Real Valladolid’s control and attributable to FIFA platforms”. While Cabral’s registration with the Spanish league went smoothly “and the process could be completed in good time”, problems arose on the deadline day with FIFA’s so-called “Transfer Matching System”, the software for international transfers.

It is said that from 11:55 p.m., a few minutes before the deadline, Valladolid failed three times to submit the necessary documents on time due to technical problems. It was only a few seconds after midnight that the same people were then uploaded successfully. However, FIFA was adamant with their decision, meaning Cabral remains a Sportings player. He has only made nine appearances with the Portuguese this season, mostly short ones (one goal) and is under contract until 2025. Valladolid announced that it would appeal against FIFA’s decision, which it said was “unfair and arbitrary”.
