The opposing case Lassana Diarraformer of PSGto the FIFAcould revolutionize the transfer market. In a decree issued this Friday, the Court of Justice of the European Union rules out certain rules of Football’s highest authority.
In 2014, Lassana Diarraafter being put in the loft at Locomotive Moscowleft the Russian club to join Belgium with the SC
Charleroi. However, Belgian justice had taken the decision to cancel the signing of the French midfielder, and the case has since been settled, before European justice, in a case opposing Lassana Diarra and the
FIFProthe Belgian Football Federation and the FIFA. In this case, the former player of Paris Saint-Germain
would have won his case, and would even have made the
FIFA and its regulation of the transfer market. Thus, with a decree expected and published this Friday, the Court of Justice of the European Union would be on the verge of revolutionizing the transfer market by brushing aside several rules of the FIFA which infringe European Union law: The rules in question are likely to hinder the free movement of professional footballers wishing to develop their activity by going to work in a new club“, declares the CJEU. The rules in place, legal and financial, are judged today to be restrictive to the freedom of movement of players, but also restrictive to free competition. Thus, players could find themselves with greater freedom regarding their future and the management of their contract.
FIFA “satisfied”
If you clan Lassana Diarra evokes a “ total victory » when the
FIFPro and theUNFP speak of a decision “ history for professional football“, satisfaction would be there in the camp opposite, at the FIFA. Indeed, the highest body of world football reacted in an official press release: “ The FIFA took note of the judgment delivered today by the Court of Justice of the European Union in the case involving the player
Lassana Diarra. The FIFA is satisfied that the legality of the key principles of the transfer system has been reconfirmed in today’s decision. The judgment only calls into question two paragraphs of two articles of the regulations of the FIFA on the status and transfer of players, which the national court is now invited to examine« .
