Three main new rules being added are as follows:

• From now on, buyout clauses will be standard practice in all contracts between footballers and clubs. Both parties will be required to include a figure in the contracts that releases them from the agreement, something that already exists in Spain, but which other federations resisted implementing, and which now guarantees the free movement of footballers.
• Next, From now on, players will receive a 5% cut of their transfer fees, a system already in place in Spain but now extending globally. Footballers with a fixed annual salary below €150,000 will be required to receive 5% of the corresponding fixed transfer fee. Players may partially waive this right, but their percentage can never be less than the greater of the following: a) the player's fixed salary for the final year of their contract with the releasing club; b) 2.5% of the total fixed transfer fee.
• Finally, A new rule is proposed that would allow clubs to offer contracts of up to five years to players under the age of eighteen (as opposed to the general three-year limit). These contracts could only be offered if the player had been registered with the club for a specified period before signing the contract and must meet specific remuneration conditions. A club would only be allowed a limited number of these contracts per season.

As part of the process described above and for informational purposes, FIFA will also sign a Memorandum of Understanding with FIFPro , subject to the withdrawal of all claims and litigation filed by FIFPro and its member federations, which will reflect the proposed changes.

All commitments undertaken will fully respect FIFA as the world governing body of football and its associated authority , as set out and provided for in FIFA's Statutes and general regulatory framework.
