Fifa aims to end easy deals between clubs with the same owner | OneFootball

Fifa wants to put an end to the so-called "parallel market" between clubs owned by the same group.

The information comes from journalist Luis Núñez-Villaveirán, from the Spanish newspaper El Mundo.

The organization's goal is to prevent teams from the same group from doing business with each other too easily.

According to the report, this practice affects the integrity of competitions and also the well-being of the players themselves.

Fifa believes that frequent transfers in short periods affect both sporting performance and the psychological state of athletes.

In addition, the world football governing body wants to encourage long-term contracts and ensure greater contractual stability.

The report directly mentions the City Group and the Chelsea Model, as well as several other companies with the same business model.

In January of this year, Fifa had already approved a new regulation, reducing the maximum number of professional player loans to six.

In other words, a club can only loan out six players, and can only have six players on loan in its squad in a single season.

However, there is an exception so as not to harm young academy players who leave to gain experience.

These limitations would not apply to athletes under 21 years old or those trained by the club itself.

An example would be defender Vitor Reis, formerly of Palmeiras, aged 19.

He was loaned by Manchester City to Girona, in Spain, with both clubs belonging to the same group.
