Japan will scrap transfer fees for out-of-contract players from the 2010 close season to fall in line with international standards.
A joint executive committee representing the top two divisions of the domestic J. League have agreed to the move and it is expected to be approved by the Japan Football Association board of directors in June.
Under current J. League rules, transfer fees for out-of-contract players are calculated based on age for those who are under 30 years old and after negotiations between the clubs involved.
"There are minor problems when it comes to renewing players' contracts and the like and we will review this by June in workshops," said J. League chief secretary Hideyuki Hanyu.
"If the move gets the rubber stamp, players out of contract at the end of the season will be able to transfer under the new regulations."
