Jase1982 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Does anyone know why, when I agree a fee and contract for a player under 17 years of age, who plays for a certain country, like Brazil....The transfer doesn't go through until they are 18??

forzautd Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 because there is a rule in brazil that a player cannot leave for another country before his 18th birthday a la the Da Silva brothers at utd. We 'aquired' them when they were 15 but have only arrived this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedro007 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 FIFA rules states that South Americans cant move until they are 18, think it is actually for all non EU citizens but not sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase1982 Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Ok, cheers for clearing that one up. I've just signed a Nigeria full back too, and the same rule seems to apply there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

forzautd Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 the da silva brothers arrived last season and played in the reserves so what are you saying? the rule doesnt apply to them? I think IRL they didnt come until this summer? unless they were just unable to play in competative games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter Lionheart Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 They were still playing in Brazil. The passports just got them work permits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavel Pogrebnyak Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Vitor Flora signed for Liverpool without needing a work permit, i think he had an Italian passport though, which would have made things easier Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
