Under the new system, both clubs involved in a player transfer will have to provide verified details of the payments and parties involved.
Last year, a report from the Financial Action Task Force, an inter-governmental body set up to combat money laundering, said that player transfers were one of the areas in which football was vulnerable to financial crimes.
Deals will also be rigidly timed out if they are not completed before transfer windows deadlines, but the system covers only international moves.
“It’s no longer a good idea to play a game of chicken in the transfer market,” said Mark Goddard, general manager of the matching system, about the clubs’ common practice of letting negotiations go to the wire to get better deals.
