Chelsea are yet to appeal their two-window transfer ban to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) as they look to weigh up their options for this summer.

The Blues were slapped with the ban, which means they could not register new players this summer or January 2020, by FIFA after being found guilty of breaching rules relating to the transfers of foreign minors.

This breached Article 19 of the Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players, while the Blues also lost their appeal to world football's governing body.

The next step would be to take their appeal to CAS in an attempt to freeze the ban and then try to get it overturned.

However, when contacted by football.london, CAS stated: "At the time of writing [May 21], the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has not received an appeal from Chelsea FC."

There is still a lot of uncertainty around the future of current boss Maurizio Sarri, with reports from Italy stating that he is set to be replaced after the Europa League by Frank Lampard, regardless on whether or not he wins the trophy.

While the club have also vehemently denied any wrongdoing in regards to the transfer ban, if they manage to freeze the ban but then lose the appeal then they would still be banned for January 2020 and the summer of 2020.

The Blues are still weighing up the position they are in right now in regards to the transfer ban before they make their move.

Christian Pulisic, who watched his first training session on Monday (May 20) will still be joining the Blues, while the signings of Gonzalo Higuain and Mateo Kovacic, should they go through with it, should still be successful.
