UEFA president Michel Platini wants to stop top teams stockpiling the best players to ensure football remains competitive.

The European football chief wants to force clubs to use more homegrown players, with eight currently required in 25-man Champions League squads.

"What is important in the future is to limit the possibility to have the best players in one team. That is important for competition," Platini said in the July edition of World Soccer magazine. "If everybody is in one team that is not so good."

Platini pointed to the ongoing fallout from the 1995 Bosman ruling by the European Court of Justice, which established the free movement of players in the European Union whose contracts had expired.

"With the Bosman rule, you can have all the best players in the same team," Platini said. "In the past in Spain, you have Real Madrid, Atletico [Madrid], Barcelona, Valencia -- a lot of teams -- and all the players were in different teams. Now, more or less, the best players are in one or two clubs."

Apart from Atletico's title triumph in 2014, the Spanish league title has been won by either Barca or Real in the last decade. Juventus has won the Italian league for four years in a row, and both Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain completed a hat trick of titles last season.

"It is not possible that the best teams would have all the best players or competition itself is finished," Platini continued.

"At the moment you have big clubs with a lot of money who can have everybody. We have to think about football in all of Europe not only in two or three clubs."

Platini said he will use a September meeting with European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker to work on how to change the rules to increase the number of homegrown players in squads.

Currently a player trained by clubs in the same country for at least three years between the age of 15 and 21 is considered by UEFA to be "homegrown," regardless of his birthplace.

Platini said: "I support totally the agenda that says we need more homegrown players because it is not possible to fight on nationality."

In England, the rule has been blamed for pushing up the price of domestic talent. Manchester City paid £49 million ($76m) to sign Raheem Sterling from Liverpool despite the 20-year-old winger only making his first-team debut three years ago.

The deal was completed after UEFA-imposed financial fair play (FFP) spending restrictions were lifted on City, who cut their losses to comply with FFP rules.

Platini did say he is considering changes to the European Under-21 Championship where some 23-year-olds can play because the age cut-off relates to the qualifiers.
