The sale comes in the wake of backlash from players themselves who alleged that their likeness is being used without their permission.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic was the first to raise his ire last week, accusing the parties involved of ?making a profit without any agreement [for all these years]?.
EA Sports and FIFPro, however,? denied these accusations as per a statement quoted in The Mirror.
