Manchester United's move for Atletico Madrid attacker Antoine Griezmann is in doubt after their transfer ban was upheld this morning.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport has upheld Atletico's transfer ban.
A statement released by the club branded the decision 'unfair', insisting that it represented 'irreparable harm' to the club.
News outlets in Spain reported the decision on Thursday morning, which will see Diego Simeone unable to register any new players for his squad until January 2018.
The decision will force Atleti to do all they can to hold on to their current crop of stars, meaning Manchester United's potential move for Griezmann is now in doubt.
