FIFA are set to announce a transfer rule change which is set to benefit both Manchester City and Manchester United significantly.

Football's world governing body has revealed new FIFA regulations will see football clubs pay less agent fees during a player transfer.

FIFA have come under fire in recent days, following their announcement of a 32-club FIFA Club World Cup that could begin in 2025.

They have also angered fans with the changing of the 32-team tried and tested format that will be replaced by a new 48-team set-up.

The new ruling will ban dual representation & introduce caps on commissions in transfers.

FIFA have also disclosed specifics of the new ruling, in what will be a change that will benefit bigger clubs about Europe.

Speaking during a press conference in Qatar, FIFA president Gianni Infantino confirmed "a 10 per cent cap on what agents representing buying clubs and players being signed can receive from a transfer."

We can look to a prime example from Man City with their signing of Erling Haaland; it was widely reported that the club paid £34m extra to the Norwegian's representatives, including the late Mino Raiola as an agent and Alfie Haaland, his father.

The other fresh rule changes include: "Limitations on what those acting on behalf of selling clubs could also make from deals; A curb on the rewards to family members who are not licensed intermediaries; Establishing a clearing-house through which all transfer payments must pass."

It was revealed that Man City had paid the most in agent/intermediary fees (£35m) from 2021 to 2022, with Man United a close second with £29m, and Chelsea rounding off the top three with £28m.

The changes are likely to result in family members being unable to earn commission on transfers unless they are officially passed by FIFA.

However, there is a chance that legal action could be taken in order to try and prevent the new regulations, with several agents expected to proceedings to court.
