Former France international Lassana Diarra is seeking 65 million euros ($76 million) from FIFA and the Belgian football association as part of a long-running legal battle, the player's lawyer announced on Monday.

The Diarra case goes back 10 years. In August 2014, Lokomotiv Moscow terminated Diarra's contract citing contractual breaches by the player. The Russian club also sought 20 million euros compensation from Diarra, now aged 39.

FIFA will open "a global dialogue" aimed at adapting the transfer system in football following the recent ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in a case brought by Lassana Diarra, the sport's world governing body said on Monday.
