Well until FIFA fine and ban him I guess.
Or if Fuchs runs out of contract and no other club wants to deal with a player who has a third party ownership.
Both of those things would Fuch (see what I did there?) him

If it is true that this deal exists and that its illegal according to FIFA, where does the blowback land?
Is it on Alaves for selling a player to a third party? United for buying/leasing a player through a third party? The player himself for being owned by a third party? The third party themselves as they are the only 'true' illegal part? Or is it all four?
The players club, ie the buyer. Not sure what sanctions if any would be applied to the player and the selling club, would have to look at the FIFA disciplinary results.
Surely our club wouldn't be stupid enough/naive enough to get this wrong? Or maybe there is a loophole I'm not aware of.
Art. 7, par. 4 of the FIFA Regulations on Working with Intermediaries:
“Clubs shall ensure that payments to be made by one club to another club in connection with a transfer, such as transfer compensation, training compensation or solidarity contributions, are not paid to intermediaries and that the payment is not made by intermediaries. This includes, but is not limited to, owning any interest in any transfer compensation or future transfer value of a player. The assignment of claims is also prohibited.”
The rules seem pretty clear, perhaps sb21's source isn't right?
