Hi Eds,

Weird question but when players are transferred between different countries (lets take Fabinho as an example) which law do they use for the contracts? Is there a standard everything is English and Wales law or is it always the selling club jurisdiction for example?

Or is it simply governed by a footballing body (FIFA, UEFA) and nothing to do with individual countries common law or statute?

Thanks for all the work you guys do as always! I know I am repeating a number of others but please don't let the idiot posters give Liverpool fans an even worse reputation!

{Ed002's Note - The new contract is applicable to the country of the club buying the player.}

Thanks Ed2.

Sorry if I am misunderstanding (highly likely), but I understand that the new employment contract will be under the applicable country.

I was more concerned with the actually documents dealing with the player transfer from one to the other?

Thanks again for the response.
