Roma Given Transfer Embargo
7/1/2005 11:54:00 AM
Roma have been handed a one-year transfer embargo by FIFA after Philippe Mexes’ controversial move from Auxerre last summer.
The defender joined the club before his Auxerre deal had expired, and although the transfer was cleared, the giallorossi have still been severely punished.

They were told late last night that they will be unable to buy anyone in the next two transfer windows.

The club will now appeal although the good news is that the embargo shouldn’t affect the transfers of Shabani Nonda, Samuel Kuffour and Rodrigo Taddei which have already been concluded.
