Infantino wants to clean up transfer system (Reuters)

By Brian Homewood ZURICH (Reuters) - A clean-up of soccer's murky transfer system and an end to the "hoarding" that makes it possible for a top club to have dozens of players out on loan are among the items on Gianni Infantino's to-do list, the FIFA president told Reuters in an interview. "It is important if you move a few billion dollars in one or two months, you must make sure that every happens in a clean way." The transfer market moves billions of dollars every year although it is often unclear how this is split between clubs, players, clubs and the agents who negotiate on their behalf. FIFA is responsible for regulating transfers between clubs in different countries under rules based on a 2001 agreement with the European Commission.
