# Move a player and check the result

> Documentation release: **FMRTE 27** (published release).

Arrange a transfer to another club with a fee and date, then check the result in Football Manager.

## Before you start
> **INFO**
You need a [loaded savegame](https://docs.fmrte.com/getting-started/load-game.md) and an [activated license](https://docs.fmrte.com/help/licensing.md).

Choose the player and destination club before starting. Pause Football Manager.

> **TIP**
To put the player at the new club straight away instead, tick **Move now**. See [Move a player immediately](https://docs.fmrte.com/players/transfers.md#move-a-player-immediately).

## Arrange the transfer

1. Find the player, for example using [Search](https://docs.fmrte.com/scouting/search.md#find-a-record-by-name).
2. Open **Move to club**.
3. Check the player in **Move** and their current club in **From**.
4. Choose the destination in **To**. For a club that isn't listed, select **Other club…** and search for it.
5. Leave **Transfer** selected and **Move now** clear.
6. Check the **Transfer Fee**, which starts at the player's asking price, and choose the **Transfer Date**. The calendar button beside the date sets it to tomorrow.
7. Select **Save Changes**.

FMRTE confirms the date the transfer completes and opens the player's **Future Transfer** tab.

## Check the result

1. In FMRTE, check the club, fee and date on the player's **Future Transfer** tab.
2. Save in Football Manager to keep the deal.
3. Advance Football Manager past the transfer date.
4. Open the destination club's squad in Football Manager and find the player.
5. Check the player's contract and the fee in their history.
6. Check any reason Football Manager gives for the player being unavailable.
7. Save in Football Manager.

If you want different contract terms, follow [Contracts](https://docs.fmrte.com/players/contracts.md) and check the result again. If the player needs registration or a permit, use [Registration](https://docs.fmrte.com/players/registration-and-permits.md) or [Work permits](https://docs.fmrte.com/players/work-permits.md).

## If it did not work

- **Move now is ticked and locked:** see [When a transfer can't be arranged](https://docs.fmrte.com/players/transfers.md#when-a-transfer-cant-be-arranged).
- **Unable to create a new contract:** follow the [contract-creation checks](https://docs.fmrte.com/help/troubleshooting.md#move-to-club-cannot-create-a-contract).
- **The player has not moved:** follow [the saving checks](https://docs.fmrte.com/help/troubleshooting.md#edits-are-not-saving-or-changes-revert).
- **The player moved but cannot play:** check the [eligibility reason](https://docs.fmrte.com/players/registration-and-permits.md#why-cant-i-register-this-player), along with any injury or ban.
