The Diarra case before the CJEU, a follow-up to the Bosman ruling?
In a ruling dated 19 September 2022, the Mons Court of Appeal (in the Wallonian region of Belgium) referred the Lassana Diarra case to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). The case is named after the French footballer who challenged the legality of the compensation he was being claimed for the termination of his contract with the Russian side of Lokomotiv Moscow without “just cause”. According to some observers, this reference for a preliminary ruling is likely to lead to a “Bosman bis” judgment.
