Tema ovog diplomskog rada je radnopravni status profesionalnih sportaša u svijetlu njihovih transfera. U njemu se glavni naglasak stavlja na nogomet kao najuređeniji sport s velikim opsegom heteronomnih i autonomnih zakonskih akata, te opsežnom praksom Europskog suda. Podijeljen u četiri naslovne cjeline: gospodarske slobode u Europskoj uniji, transferi, status nogometaša u Republici Hrvatskoj i posrednici u nogometu, rad nastoji uvesti čitatelja u tematiku slobodnog kretanja nogometaša unutar Europske unije prije svega kroz sudsku praksu, s ciljem stavljanja naglaska na položaj kojeg zauzimaju u državama u kojima im status radnika nije priznat. Posebna se pažnja pridaje Republici Hrvatskoj i analizi heteronomnih i autonomnih izvora koji taj položaj uređuju.The subject of this graduate work is labour law status of professional sportsmen in the context of their transfers.
