FIFA issued a decision earlier in the season to deny Chelsea a deal during the next two transfer periods due to his irregularities and fined him $ 600,000.
The network pointed out that in previous cases especially with Spanish clubs, FIFA agreed to suspend the penalty until the appeal.
Chelsea is suffering from a poor season, led by coach Mauricio Sari, who wanted to support the team next summer with a number of deals, to return him to the competition for titles strongly.
Chelsea, sixth in the Premier League, has 56 points.
