CLUBS MAY BE FREE TO SIGN OTHER FORLANS

Blatter said that Fifa will consider proposals to allow clubs to make one signing each – a so-called "joker" – outside transfer windows.

The French delegation urged Fifa to adopt the system in use in their league when clubs can sign a joker when the window is closed. The worldwide enforcement of the transfer window system has drawn criticism this summer, with English clubs notably opposed to its introduction.
