[Must Board] FIFA Official: Because Las Diara won the case, it will modify the football transfer rules

Many people in the football industry believe that the ending of the Diara case may eventually play a revolutionary role like Jean-Mark Boseman in giving football players the right to employment as natural as ordinary people like you and me.

As happened last month, Brazilian striker Lucas Ribero has invoked the ruling to terminate his contract with South Africa's Mamelodi Sunset and renew his contract with Spanish team Culture Leonésa.

defender Pierre Ekva also intends to use such terms to try to leave Saint-Etienne.

"We expect FIFA to bring about a gradual change," said Leeds Sort, partner at ESL Sports Law Firm in London.

"But one thing is certain, the more likely the club and the player can negotiate first, the better it is to coordinate their interests and avoid disputes. If an agreement can be reached at the beginning, there is no need to rely on FIFA or the national court." The termination/buyout clause should be the core of the case, as it stipulates that the club must agree to pay the transfer fee before they can begin negotiations with the player in personal terms.

Barcelona and Real Madrid now often add 1 billion euros (£870 million) termination clauses to their best player contracts to scare off potential suitors.

For Barcelona, ​​this is an example of "being bitten by a snake once, fearing the rope for ten years", just as Paris Saint-Germain was not scared away by Neymar's 222 million euro termination clause in 2017.

On the other hand, Elling Haaland's termination clause at Dortmund and Liam Drapp's termination clause at Ipswich are examples of lower termination clauses to attract new employers, which obviously benefited the two strikers, but not for their employers at the time.

But the players don't want to completely overturn the transfer system - contract stability is two-way - if it can be avoided, no one will choose to go to court. Therefore, the increase in terms of the termination will almost certainly be one of the industry's responses to the Diyala case.

"The future transfer market is likely to become a complete market for termination terms, and the club and the players must agree on everything," explains Vidal Fosdar, Norwegian transfer finance expert. "The only way is to use the termination terms, but the termination terms cannot be like we are now, it is no longer appropriate. It must be based on predicted valuations."

It may also include paying bonuses if the player reaches some kind of result on a new team, as well as a series of subsequent fees. It even offers multiple payment options for buyers’ clubs: less fees can be paid if paid in full immediately and higher fees can be paid if paid in installments.
