This article explores the issue of player transfers in detail and puts forward the proposed ‘Coubertobin tax’ to regulate the player transfers system.
A “muscle drain” of the most talented teen-age (under 18) players from developing countries is becoming a concern. All the more so when these international transfers to European and North American professional teams are proceeded through illegal means and clandestine deeds used by outlaw players’ agents. The paper suggests a regulation – a Coubertobin tax – of this part of international market and compares it with the FIFA regulation adopted in September 2001.
