Plans to reform the transfer system have been drawn up by FIFA, including the introduction of a cap upon agents’ commissions, and restrictions on the number of loan players.
Under the proposals, agents’ fees would be limited to a maximum of 10% of the fee that a selling club receives for a player. Additionally, they could earn up to 3% more of the amount that a player receives from a transfer.
For their part, buying clubs in a transfer will not be able to pay agents acting on their behalf more than 3% of the remuneration that a player receives from a deal.
In another development, to prevent conflicts of interest, the same agent will not be able to act for more than one party in a deal.
The loan system would also be reformed with clubs limited, from the 2020.20121 season to eight international loans in and out of the club in a season, dropping to six two years later.
The proposals will be voted on by the FIFA Council at its next meeting on October 24th.
