“We should also protect the player and if the player wants to play somewhere else, then a solution should be found,” Blatter said. “Because if he stays in a club where he does not feel comfortable to play then it’s not good for the player and for the club … I’m always in favor to protect the player and if the player, he wants to leave, let him leave.”

-FIFA President Sepp Blatter
