One of Europe's best-known sports lawyers David Diaz says that clubs will be casting a watchful eye over their prize assets during the unprecedented World Cup in Qatar.
Diaz and his firm have represented superstars like Neymar and Ronaldo and have connections across the world. And he has given insight into FIFA's plans to look after top stars during the Qatar World Cup.
Newcastle United are set to receive a share of a £200million payout from FIFA to help compensate the Magpies for losing the services of their stars during the tournament. But it is a scheme that Newcastle must first apply for and Diaz says some of the funds may go to some of the players' previous clubs.
