Fifa will hold a global consultation over potential changes to the transfer system after a court ruled some of its transfer rules break European Union laws.

Earlier this month the European Court of Justice found in favour of former Chelsea and Arsenal midfielder Lassana Diarra, who sued Fifa for damages.

The rules state that, when signing a free agent, clubs are jointly liable to pay compensation to a player's former team if their contract was terminated without just cause.

Diarra argued that the rules restricted his freedom of movement after the termination of his contract with Russian club Lokomotiv Moscow in 2014, breaching competition law.
