And the amount of transfers was now established by computer? This is the new idea from Fifa boss Gianni Infantino.
Never short of more or less successful concepts to modernize or even revolutionize football, Fifa President Gianni Infantino shared his new idea this Friday in Tokyo, during the annual legal conference of the International Football Federation.
Based on the observation that the amounts of transfers often turn out to be excessive and not necessarily justified, following potentially long and obscure negotiations, the boss of Fifa opened the debate on the right way to set the price of players in a more or less future. less close.
Objective criteria
As announced today in Japan, Gianni Infantino would soon like “ discuss the possibility of using an algorithm to estimate the fair value of transfer fees in order to increase the transparency of the transfer system and help football stakeholders “.
Clearly, clubs would rely on official and approved software to define the amount of a player’s transfer. This according to objective criteria such as age, strong and weak points, statistics and the footballer’s record. All of course in accordance with competition law in force within the European Union or the geographical area concerned.
