FIFA and its president, Gianni Infantino, are planning to push for significant changes to soccer’s multibillion-dollar player trading business, changes that would limit the prices teams could pay for players and diminish the increasingly powerful role agents play in the market.

The proposals, detailed in an internal FIFA report created at Infantino’s behest, would represent the biggest overhaul of the transfer system since its inception.

Infantino had vowed to take on the transfer market — a chaotic world in which clubs and agents broker transfers with whispered rumors, secret promises and hidden fees — after he was elected two years ago. He convened the FIFA task force that created the report to address a series of issues, including the spiraling costs associated with contracting top players; concerns about the behavior of agents in the process; and growing numbers of stories about dubious financial practices in a global transfer market worth about $6.5 billion a year.

The proposed changes may set up yet another showdown between Infantino and some of soccer’s richest clubs and leagues, which pushed back this year against his $25 billion plan to remake the club World Cup and which see few problems with the status quo.
