Barcelona will have to wait to register new signing Daniel Alves.
Sport says Alves will not be able to be registered until January 1, when the transfer window opens again. He will in theory be one of three signings Barcelona want to make.
He won three Champions Leagues, six Spanish leagues and many more trophies with the Catalans.
However, Xavi wants the deal done as quickly as possible so that Alves can join the club's training sessions, get up to speed and work with his new team mates.
A lot has changed since he left.
