UEFA wants to impose salary cap for footballers

Baku. 23 January. REPORT.AZ/ UEFA wants to set a salary cap for footballers.

Report informs, President of UEFA Aleksander Ceferin told in his interview to Telegraph.

They come and they say, ‘Look, you will pay me 50 per cent of the transfer or the player goes somewhere else’. Or, ‘You will buy him but you will buy also him and him and him, who you don’t want but you will pay the commission and you will take them’. Why the licensing system still lacking. This situation now is the worst. Because, you can be - if I exaggerate - a killer and still be an agent.”
