FIFA plans to review Laporte case next week, but the possibility of transfer approval is slim

Hupu September 7th According to the Marca report, FIFA plans to review the Laporte case next week, but the possibility of a transfer approval is very small.

Now, all international transfers are conducted through FIFA's TMS system. The information is provided by one party and confirmed by the other party. If everything is correct, the world's top soccer agency will proceed and complete the necessary procedures in order to send a transfer permit.

The senior executives of the Red and White Army team have asked FIFA to reconsider the decision in an attempt to prove that the error in the procedures was not in Athletic Bilbao, and their own operations were correct.

FIFA plans to review the case next Tuesday or Wednesday, and once the Basque club submits all the required materials, it will try to fight for a nearly impossible transfer. Past precedents are not conducive to the belief that the situation will change, especially in the case of the high-ranking officials in Riyadh victory, which is even more obvious.

In 2023, Julian Araujo failed to join Barcelona when the winter transfer window was closed. The Los Angeles Galaxy and Catalonia clubs submitted documents late, and TMS refused the transfer. Barcelona complained to TAS that it was a systematic error, and the Swiss court accepted the complaint. Athletic Bilbao is also considering taking the TAS path. The option that Laporte cannot use is the free-self function. After the transfer window is closed, termination of the contract through an agreement does not allow the player to join a new team. If the transfer window is closed, in other words, the free-self letter is valid but must be obtained before closing the window.
