ZURICH (Reuters) - The world players' union FIFPro has said it will take legal action to ensure players who are not paid on time are free to look for a new club.

FIFPro said on Friday that negotiations to reform the transfer system ground to a halt last week after representatives from the European clubs and leagues rejected demands to protect players who were not paid on time or had their contracts unjustly terminated.
