## Loan a player

The player must already have a full contract with another club.

1. In **Move to club**, select the destination, tick **On loan** and save.
2. Reload the player and open **Loan Contract**.
3. Set dates, wages, agreed price, monthly fees, playing time and clauses as needed.
4. Save again and check the parent club, loan club and terms in Football Manager.
