Transfer windows in sports, particularly in football (soccer), are specific periods during the year when clubs can buy, sell, or loan players. These windows are set by governing bodies such as FIFA and vary depending on the country or league. During the transfer window, clubs can negotiate deals with other clubs or players' agents to bring in new players or let go of existing ones. Once the window closes, clubs cannot trade players until the next transfer window opens. This system helps regulate player transfers and ensures fairness and transparency in the transfer market.

A transfer window is a period of time in which a football club can add players to their squad who were previously under contract with another club ¹. FIFA regulates two windows: a longer one (max. twelve weeks) in the break between seasons and a shorter one (max. one month) in the middle of a season ¹.
