Bosman 2. 0 - going to be really interesting what happens. As I understand it a player could now just cancel their contract and sign for another club with no compensation. Clubs will really need to keep players sweet.
Obvs, pending uefa/fifa revising the rules to cover this somehow. Agents must be putting in orders for new yachts as we speak.

Just like "normal" employment then, notice period aside. As you say, really interesting!

Obviously the flip side will be that players can be ditched if they aren't performing, no more Winston Bogardes.
More likely though is that some tweaking will happen to allow things to fairly much carry on as they have been. The court case wasn't directly related to a transfer fee so probably one that can be worked around.

The EU Court of Justice has ruled in favour of Lassana Diarra in his case against UEFA/FIFA in relation to player's contracts, as it restricts freedom of trade.
The case was brought when he prevented from breaking his contract with Lokomotiv Moscow, even though they'd sacked him back in 2014, and was subsequently banned by FIFA for 15 months.
