UEFA said today
it would seek an "urgent" meeting with FIFA president Sepp Blatter to try to resolve a row over changes to the transfer system.
Officials of European soccer's ruling body, speaking after an emergency executive board session, said the meeting, tentatively set for Friday, would aim "to secure an agreed way forward".
They said UEFA had also offered to meet with the relevant European commissioners to explain the concerns of European soccer about proposed changes to the transfer system.
UEFA made it clear, however, it was not seeking to begin separate negotiations with the EC as it had threatened earlier this week after FIFA lodged its own proposals with the EC.
