October 7 – It’s been described by some experts as Bosman Mark 2 and could have significant implications for years to come.

The ECJ was called upon to judge a long-running dispute between former French international midfielder Lassana Diarra (pictured) and FIFA over what happens when players unilaterally terminate their contract.
