Future uncertain for players who failed to meet deadline

A study has shown that there has been a 1500% increase in the wages of footballers since 1992.

The rise in players wages has also created a subsequent rise in the club's turnover.

Compared to just 48% in 1997, a player's wages now account for more than 70% of the club's turnover.

The increase in wages caused a similar rise in ticket prices.

Younger players get paid more than the older ones.

When Ronaldo and Kaka were bought by Real Madrid in 2009; Ronaldo, who was 24 then was paid £80m, and Kaka who was 27 years old was bought for £56m.

However, this year, English footballer John Stones and Brazilian Hulk were both transferred for the same price. Stones is 22, while Hulk is 30.

A players past performance and medical history are key factors considered during transfers.

The club sees if the player fits the current team structure and if his abilities will be of use to the club.

It is difficult to transfer a player if he is not keen on leaving the current club he is playing for as it could create commitment issues.

With the transfer window closed, a number of Football players are looking forward to clubs seeking to snap them up.

The players not required by their clubs will negotiate their contracts and move as free agents.

If the players do not terminate the contracts, they will have to wait till the next transfer window which is in January 2017.
