Diarra seeks 56m from Fifa in new legal action
Briefly

Lassana Diarra is reinitiating legal proceedings demanding €56 million from FIFA and the Royal Belgian Football Association due to a longstanding dispute following his contract termination with Lokomotiv Moscow in 2014. The Court of Justice of the European Union ruled that FIFA’s transfer rules violate EU laws, stating that FIFA’s refusal to issue an international transfer certificate for Diarra’s move to Charleroi in 2015 limited his professional mobility. Diarra, supported by footballers' unions, emphasized the need to advocate for lesser-known players facing similar injustices.
