History

Historical Context

On 15 December 1995 the European Court of Justice ruled in Jean-Marc Bosman’s case that EU players could leave at contract end without a fee, ending transfer-fee and foreign-player quotas. The decision led to moves such as Edgar Davids to Milan and allowed clubs like Liverpool and Newcastle to arrange free-transfer deals. By 2007 foreign players made up 57 % of squads in England and Germany.
