The European Union Court's new verdict on the transfer system across the world of football has contradicted the transfer rule set by world soccer's ruling body Fifa. 

This new verdict can make explosive changes in world football's transfer rules in the future where the controversial transfer case of Anwar Ali may have an effect.

The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has declared that key FIFA rules governing the transfer system are “contrary to EU law,” possibly triggering explosive consequences for the future of club football across the world. 

The judgment says rules on player transfer authorizations restrict freedom of movement a fundamental EU principle. Current regulations requiring buying clubs to pay compensation when a player breaks a contract ‘without just cause’ is considered ‘anticompetitive. 

This could reshape the entire football transfer system although the world football is awaiting FIFA’s response. 

Significantly, CJEU justice has come up after a long legal battle between ex-Chelsea and Arsenal midfielder Lassana Diarra and Fifa ended with the European Court of Justice finding in the former footballer’s favor. 

Diarra's legal team challenged some of Fifa's rules after the termination of his contract with Russian club Lokomotiv Moscow in 2014.

They argued some of the rules imposed by football's global governing body restricted his freedom of movement and breached competition law, and sued Fifa for damages.
