Doyen Sports, one of the biggest investors in football’s $2B player-trading market, said that "FIFA’s plan to prohibit speculators from buying stakes in transfer rights will hurt small market teams," according to Tariq Panja of BLOOMBERG. Doyen "is the most visible transfer market investor, profiting from deals across Europe and South America." The closely held company’s website "shows links to some of sport’s biggest names" including former ManU player David Beckham, Barcelona’s Neymar and Olympian Usain Bolt. Doyen CEO Nelio Lucas said that his company "was prepared for regulation." Lucas said, "We are not worried at all as our 'modus-operandi' is not TPO. We were prepared for it and that’s why our model is so different from others." Doyen "uses third-party investment, not ownership." Doyen "also lends money to teams in exchange for a cut of the money made through trading a player or a group of players." Eduardo Carlezzo, a Sao Paulo-based lawyer who has worked on several player investment deals, said funds like Doyen will "be creative" regarding the new rules. He said, "Sometimes we can use different words to reach the same ending." Lucas cautioned FIFA on how it draws up its rules, saying that "tough regulations on future financing could prevent smaller clubs from challenging the richest." Lucas: "Do we want a world where only Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern or other ‘giants’ win trophies due to the distorted marketplace or do we want smaller clubs like Atletico Madrid, Seville, Porto, Benfica, PSV or other similar to challenge them and provide competition?"
