Lawyers for former France international Lassana Diarra say he is claiming $76 million from FIFA and the Belgian soccer federation after a landmark legal win about transfer rules.

Former France midfielder Lassana Diarra is restarting legal proceedings seeking £56m in compensation from Fifa and the Royal Belgian Football Association.

Diarra and his lawyers argued that these FIFA rules on compensation and ITC issuance hindered his free movement as a worker within the European Union and violated competition laws.

The new-look tournament was sort of a success; Chelsea seemed to have a good time, as did US President Donald Trump, who felt the desire to stay with the players for the trophy lift in a comical moment that won’t be forgotten any time soon.

The action filed before the Belgian courts follows unsuccessful settlement negotiations with FIFA. The claim seeks rightful compensation for damages resulting from FIFA's illegal transfer rules, according to the announcement.
