Lassana Diarra seeking 56m from Fifa in compensation for past transfer rules
Briefly

Lassana Diarra is taking legal action against FIFA for €65 million in damages after the European Court's ruling on transfer rules and a lack of settlement. He claims that FIFA's failure to resolve the issues reflects a culture of contempt towards football players. Diarra argues that his freedom of movement was restricted, affecting his transfer from Lokomotiv Moscow to Charleroi in 2014. The European Court determined FIFA's rules imposed excessive legal and financial risks on players, prompting Diarra to seek compensation for his losses.
Diarra has been compelled to pursue legal action against FIFA and the Belgian Football Association, seeking 65 million in compensation due to a lack of settlement.
The legal action stems from a significant European Court ruling that found FIFA's transfer rules violated EU law, leading to considerable risks for players.
