"UEFA, Europe's governing body, allows player movement only from the end of seasons until September 1 and then again from January 1-31. </p> One important caveat: the transfer window limitations only apply to players <font color="#ff0000">currently under contract</font> to professional teams. Players whose contracts have expired or who are otherwise "out-of-contract" can be signed at any time. "</p> so presumably if we cancel his contract he could go-for a fee hopefully?</p>
The seasons in Eastern Europe and Scandanavia have a different window as they run at different times.</p> Hence the potential transfer.</p>
Furthermore.... If he is out of contract in 6 months he could sign a pre-contract with them and there is nothing we could do to prevent him talking to them.</p>
