Transfer Market

The transfer market in football (soccer) is the industry where clubs buy and sell players. When a team wants to acquire a player from another club, they negotiate a transfer fee—the agreed-upon sum for the player's rights. Players may also move on free transfers if their contracts end. Transfers allow clubs to strengthen their squads or sell players they no longer need. The market is influenced by factors like player performance, age, and club finances. Overall, it’s a dynamic system that shapes team compositions and competitive balance across leagues.
