THE LIFE OF A TRANSFER

One agreement.
Five stages.

From the first conversation to the player taking the field.

01 / NEGOTIATION

The transaction starts before the contract.

  • Economic structure
  • Sporting terms
  • Risks and security

We design the transaction structure.

02 / CONTRACTS

One deal. Several instruments.

  • Transfer or loan
  • Employment, image rights and representation
  • Bonuses, sell-on and solidarity

We make all documents work together.

03 / FIFA TMS

Both clubs must report the same transaction.

  • Matching data
  • Complete documents
  • ITC and FIFA rules

We coordinate the international process and resolve discrepancies.

04 / REGISTRATION

Signed does not mean registered.

  • Transfer window
  • Federation and league
  • Player eligibility

We follow the transfer until the player is eligible to play.

05 / DISPUTE

When the deal breaks down, the strategy changes.

  • Collection and default
  • Proceedings before FIFA
  • CAS appeal and enforcement

We turn the contract into an enforceable legal position.
