FIFA president Gianni Infantino has again raised the idea of setting football transfer fees by algorithm instead of clubs negotiating a market value price for contracted players at the governing body's annual law conference in Tokyo on Friday, SİA informs citing ESPN.
The idea has existed for several years and Infantino refloated it amid a global transfer market that is now worth more than $10 billion annually.
"Now more than ever it is fundamental for us to talk about these and other topics," Infantino told football lawyers.
"For example, to discuss the possibility of using an algorithm to estimate the fair value of transfer fees in order to increase transparency in the transfer system and help the football stakeholders."
It is unclear how a FIFA-approved method of setting fees would be accepted by clubs who would have their selling options limited, or how it would comply with competition law in the European Union (EU).
