The January transfer window has been thrown into chaos less than 48 hours before it opens, as Fifa has advised a temporary suspension of its reform of football agent regulations. The decision is even putting major deals in jeopardy, as clubs attempt to work out which system applies and what drafts of paperwork to do.
The development comes after a German court ruled that an injunction applied to all of the European Union, forcing Fifa to reconsider its stance and lodge an appeal.
