"This will change the lives of these small clubs because it's big, big money and it's due and we're very proud to do this," said Infantino."This will bring finally some transparency and accountability in the whole transfer market." "Whenever you deal with transfers of players, whenever some police authorities go and dig into transfers they find some strange payments to some strange places linked and connected with transfers," said Infantino.
