Fifa to open ‘global dialogue’ over transfer rules after Diarra ruling
03/02/07 of Lassana Diarra

The European Court of Justice ruled earlier this month that some of the transfer rules imposed by football’s global governing body were contrary to EU law because they restricted freedom of movement and were anti-competitive.

The decision was reached after a transfer dispute was brought before it involving former Arsenal, Chelsea and Portsmouth midfielder Diarra.
