On 27th March, UEFA changed some old rules. According to those rules, a player can represent two different clubs in the same European competition. This rule will be applied by UEFA from next season. As per the old rules, January signings can't appear for a different club if they have already featured in the same UEFA competition. The rules given are without a doubt, fair as star players like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Diego Costa and Philippe Coutinho cannot represent their current clubs in European circuit as they starred for their former clubs in the competition.
