FIFA to open 'global dialogue' on transfer system after Diarra ruling

 

FIFA will open "a global dialogue" aimed at adapting the transfer system in football following the recent ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in a case brought by Lassana Diarra, the sport's world governing body said on Monday.

"FIFA will now initiate a global dialogue with key stakeholders. Together with them, FIFA will determine what conclusions must be drawn from the Diarra decision, and which changes are most appropriate and suitable," FIFA's chief legal and compliance officer, Emilio Garcia Silvero, said in a statement.
