English clubs may lose the opportunity to buy young Europeans.
According to current rules, any club that is part of the football association of a country that is a member of the European Union can sell and buy players from another club, which is also located in the EU country, at the age of 16-17.
In the event that the UK leaves the EU, English clubs will be able to acquire players only after they turn 18.
"This is a practical problem for football clubs related to Brexit. We may lose the opportunity to compete with clubs such as Real Madrid and Barcelona in the fight for talented youth. I'm sure that this issue will be discussed more than once, "- says the financial director of the United States Cliff Batey.
It is worth noting that in 2009 the Red Devils, thanks to the ability to sign 16-year-old players, signed the Frenchman Paul Pogba.
