Is football’s transfer system about to collapse?

Football's player transfer system will be in the spotlight and could even be on the brink of collapse on Friday when the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) announces its ruling on former France player Lassana Diarra's case against FIFA.

The international transfer system, which processes hundreds of millions of dollars each year in player sales and has existed in its current form since 2001, is overseen by world soccer's ruling body.

It is still unclear how the ruling would impact countries beyond the EU, notably England's Premier League, the biggest source of transfer funds in the world, but it is likely to result in a new FIFA ruling that would be used in all member countries.

If there are fewer obstacles and deterrents to a player breaking contract, it follows that transfer fees could trend downwards if clubs feel they have less security in the event of an in-contract player walking away.

Contracts might also shorten if they become less stable.
