What is a transfer in football?

In football, in addition to the game, there is also the second side, which concerns the financial issue. True fans watch not only the results of matches, but also the transitions of their favorite players. The transfer of a player from one club to another is usually called a transfer. What is a transfer?

Football transfer, as I said, is the transfer of a player from one club to another. During the transition, the player signs a contract with the new club, which indicates the data of salaries, bonuses and, of course, the amount of the transfer. Sometimes the amount is not paid, this happens in cases when the player's contract with his previous club has expired, and he passes on as a free agent.

Any fan of football knows what a transfer is. Sports magazines and Web sites always publish information about possible transitions. Transfer is an important part of any footballer's career. If you ask the player about the transfer for him, he will answer that this is one of the most important parts of his professional life. It is during this period that he decides, with whom and where he will realize himself as a football player.

Very often, transfers are accompanied by loud scandals, as the transitions are often due to the conflicts of players within the team and conflicts with the coach or the management of the club. Such moments, of course, spoil football as a game, but develop it as an advertising business.

The player is paid directly by his agent, who solves all financial and legal issues. There are cases when an agent of a certain football player is his relative.

The purchase and sale of players by clubs can be made in the strictly designated time of year, designated by UEFA. During the year, two windows open for the transition. The first period begins in early July and lasts until the end of August - this time is usually called the summer transfer window. There is also a winter transfer window, during this period, the player's transfers are allowed from January 1 to 31. There are separate similar periods in domestic championships, when clubs of one country can transfer players from one team to another in the time agreed by the football federation.

In transfers, as well as in individual games, there are their own records. The biggest price for a football player was offered by Real Madrid (Madrid) - 94 million euros. This is how much the Spanish club has given for the famous and talented player, who still defended the colors of the English club Manchester United, - Cristiano Ronaldo. This transfer record has not been beaten to this day, although there have been many proposals, which even doubled.

UEFA plans to introduce a transfer limit. Such an argument is argued by the fact that football needs to be returned as a game, because now it is more popular as a business. What is a transfer now? Fans are more interested in not the transition of the player, namely the amount, which, in turn, gives rise to numerous discussions.
