Player transfers refer to the process in sports, particularly in professional football (soccer), where a player moves from one club or team to another. This can occur through various mechanisms, typically involving direct negotiations between clubs and the agreement on a transfer fee, which compensates the player’s current club for releasing the player. Transfers often also include terms concerning the player’s contract, such as salary and duration.
The transfer system is governed by specific rules set by the sport’s governing bodies, including transfer windows during which transfers can occur, and regulations regarding player registration.
