Platini To Curb Teenage Signings?

Michel Platini

For every Cesc Fabregas there are probably hundreds that never make it and are discarded according to UEFA.

UEFA President and former French Superstar Michel Platini is looking to make some changes in the world of football, specifically targeting the age in which a young player under the age of 18 is allowed to transfer clubs.

As of right now the player and their parents are allowed to sign professional contracts with the clubs of their choice, but Platini is looking to tie that player to the club he came through by forcing them to sign their first professional contract with the club.

I’ll take European Labour Laws for $200 Alex.
