Advocate General Szpunar highlighted that Fifa's rules on player transfers are restrictive and may only be acceptable in specific circumstances, potentially limiting clubs' purchasing power and impacting market competition.
Former Premier League player Lassana Diarra's case against Fifa involves the termination of his contract with Lokomotiv Moscow, hindering a potential move to Belgian club Charleroi due to concerns over compensation under Fifa's regulations.
Diarra's legal team, Jean-Louis Dupont and Martin Hissel, emphasized the need for the CJEU to rule in favor of the player to stop the 'degrading practice of commoditising players', hoping for support in the upcoming judgment.
