2. Open Move to club.
3. Check the player in Move and their current club in From.
4. Use the search button beside To to choose the destination club.

Check the contract and squad

1. Reload the player in FMRTE.
2. Open Contract and check the club, expiry date, wages and agreed playing time.
3. Open the destination club's squad in Football Manager and find the player.
4. Check the player's contract in Football Manager.
5. Check any reason Football Manager gives for the player being unavailable.
6. Save in Football Manager when the move and contract are as intended.

If you want different contract terms, follow Contracts and check the result again. If the player needs registration or a permit, use Registration and permits.

If it did not work

• Unable to create a new contract: follow the contract-creation checks.
• The player has not moved: follow the saving checks.
• The player moved but cannot play: check the eligibility reason, along with any injury or ban.
