Player transfers refer to the process through which a professional athlete, particularly in team sports, moves from one club or team to another. This process typically involves negotiations between the two clubs regarding the player’s contract, and may include a transfer fee—money paid by the acquiring club to the player’s current club—as well as the player’s agreement to new terms regarding salary and contract length. Transfers can happen during designated transfer windows, which are specific periods set by governing bodies (such as FIFA) during which clubs are allowed to buy, sell, or trade players.
