There is a potentially historic act that does the union Fifpro now completed. In a letter to the European Commission notifies the International Football Federation FIFA and European football association UEFA requiring major changes in football.

“A historic moment”

The requirement is to remove all the transfer fee, prohibit loan agreements impose restrictions on how large troops clubs may have and reduce payments to players’ agents.

– Whatever happens, this is a historic moment not only for Fifpro without professional football, says Theo van Seggelen , Secretary General of playing union Fifpro representing 65 000 players in 65 different countries, The Guardian.

– We tried to solve these problems internally with FIFA and UEFA but I am absolutely convinced that they left us without any other choice now.

Fifpro mean that soccer players have less mobility than other professions in the EU because their employers have to accept an offer from another club that they should get moving. Now they come with several proposals on how a system could work where players simply can not buy.

– Without the transfer system will be the best players still playing for the top clubs but the contracts will be shorter. However, it is not enough so we have developed a number of options to ensure that this will not get the wrong effect. We need stability so you can write the contracts of one, two, three or four years. It will be difficult for a player to break his contract.

“Can not have that in the City”

A vision is a protected species period where neither the club or players can break that contract the first two or three years. The exception is if there are mitigating circumstances that player simply does not get any playing time, and then himself should have the opportunity to buy out the remainder of his contract. The contracts

should also have a limit of four years?.

– Then we must consider the troop size, you can not have that at Manchester City now where there are 60 players under contract. And we want to ban lending system. And remove agents’ remuneration. They are areas we need to think about, says Theo van Seggelen.

As it works today, writes the clubs long-term contracts with key players who can then forced to remain, regardless of what bids come in, as long as the contract terms . Once they move often the agents huge benefits. A total amount of two billion crowns to the players’ agents only in 2014.

Fifpro believes that the current system favors the biggest clubs and also creates situations where players of smaller clubs are forced to remain without pay.
