Fifa has been asked by the Football Association to ratify Adrien Silva's transfer to Leicester City.
The Foxes agreed to sign the Portugal Euro 2016 winner from Sporting Lisbon for £22m on 31 August, but they missed the deadline by 14 seconds .
Silva's registration was not completed in time with Fifa, and the midfielder has since
returned to Portugal .
"The FA has requested the International Transfer Certificate (ITC) be authorised," said a Fifa spokesperson.
Fifa withheld the ITC for the Portugal international, and without it, Silva will not be registered as a City player until the next transfer window opens in January.
A decision from the Players Status Committee is usually issued within 30 days of a valid request, meaning the issue could be resolved by the end of October.
But speaking at a news conference on Thursday, Leicester manager Craig Shakespeare said he had no idea how long the Silva appeal would take, adding "no-one can give me an answer.
