Proposes a youth training fund to resolve conflicts between European competition laws and the need to develop young talent in sports.
Youth training fund proposal may ease EU competition-training conflicts in sports; leaves open empirical validation before policy adoption.
In this paper we propose a way out of the problem, created by the Bosman verdict, and the more recent Bernard case, of the European Court of Justice, which found itself caught between the European competition laws, on the one hand, and the need to develop and train young talent, on the other hand. The creation of a youth training fund, compensating clubs for their training costs in any case, that is: if the player moves to another team or stays with his training team.
