Fifa announced Thursday that the loans of players between clubs would be subject, from July 1, to a new regulation which aims to limit these transactions, sometimes misguided by certain clubs to reduce their bloated workforce. This reform aims to “to strengthen the development of young players, improve the competitive balance and prevent the excessive accumulation of players under contract”, argued the world football body. This has been engaged since 2017 in a broader project to define a new framework for transfers, which includes in particular the question of the role of the agent and his commissions.
Fifa plans to limit the number of players a club can loan to a team to three, a measure that goes once morest the satellite clubs that the big teams use to play those who do not have a place in their squad. This is the case of Monaco with Cercle Brugge, or Chelsea with Vitesse Arnhem, which has welcomed thirty players from the “Blues” in the form of a loan over the past ten seasons.

The body will limit the total number of loans a club can make each season. The limit will be set at eight for the 2022-23 financial year, and will gradually drop to six from July 2024. Currently, according to data from the Transfermarkt website, Manchester City, one of the most greedy clubs on the subject, has 14 loaned players.
The reform of Fifa also determines a maximum duration of loan (one year) as well as the prohibition to under-lend a player. The new regulations do not affect young players aged 21 or under, as well as those trained at the club, Fifa said. “Initially planned for July 2020, the introduction of the regulations had to be delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic”, explains the instance, which recalls that it must be submitted to “approval by the FIFA Council at its next meeting.”
