UEFA rush to introduce emergency rule blocking clubs from inflating transfer fees

UEFA is set to introduce new regulations that will stop players from being traded for fees exceeding their true market value. And, according to L’Equipe, the rules will be installed during this transfer window as the governing body tries to play catch up and “prevent abusive practices.”

UEFA’s executive committee will vote on a number of amendments to their financial fair play (FFP) regulations when they meet on June 28.

Among those proposals will be a mechanism where transfer fees will be compared to their true market value and clubs will be punished should they declare sums that are considered greatly excessive by the club control body.
