Eggert Magnusson has called for a swift decision in the Carlos Tevez case, following a meeting between Fifa, the Football Association and the Premier League.
West Ham United and Manchester United have asked Fifa to arbitrate on Tevez's contractual situation as the Argentine seeks a move to Old Trafford.
The striker is registered to The Hammers, but his agent Kia Joorabchian owns his economic rights, with the sticking point being who is entitled to any transfer fee.
Fifa officials met with counterparts from the FA and the Premier League on Monday, although no immediate decision was reached.
An FA spokesman said: "The meeting has taken place and left with Fifa to take a decision.
"We are waiting to hear from them and to see what they consider is the most appropriate way forward."
Hammers chairman Magnusson has already conceded that he expects Tevez to be leaving Upton Park before the close of the transfer window.
And, speaking as he presented Freddie Ljungberg as a new signing, Magnusson urged the need for a quick resolution to the matter.
Magnusson said: "There is nothing I've heard today.
"Fifa have to decide if they have jurisdiction over the matter and I hope so.
"The sooner for everybody, the better."
yeah for gods sake, come on FIFA, FA and Premier League!!!!!! I'm f**k sick of hearing about it. :ranting:
