Former France international Diarra, now 39, has been mired in a series of legal battles since his contract with Lokomotiv Moscow was terminated by the club in 2014.<\/p>\n
Following a dispute with manager Leonid Kuchuk, Lokomotiv alleged Diarra refused to appear at training or accept a lower salary and dismissed him three years before his deal was scheduled to expire.<\/p>\n
In 2016, a Fifa ruling – backed up by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) – found Diarra liable for breach of contract, ordering him to pay 10m euros (\u00a38.4m) to Lokomotiv and suspending him from professional football for 15 months.<\/p>\n
When Diarra subsequently agreed a deal to join Charleroi, the club sought assurances they would not be liable to pay any compensation to Lokomotiv.<\/p>\n
Fifa then refused to issue Charleroi with an ITC, required by clubs across the world to register a newly signed player, so the deal collapsed.<\/p>\n
Diarra’s lawyers contested this specific rule – which makes a club wishing to sign a player jointly liable for compensation to a player’s old club, and at risk of sporting sanctions, in cases where the player’s previous contract was terminated without just cause.<\/p>\n
They also challenged a rule which allows the national association of a player’s former club to withhold an ITC where there was a dispute, which they said also hindered the move.<\/p>\n
The court has determined that Fifa should not be able to use the ITC system to prevent players who have breached a contract from moving and working where they choose.<\/p>\n
Parts of Fifa’s transfer rules will have to be revised to remain valid in the EU.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
