##### Transfers

EA SPORTS FC™ 27 gives you one of the biggest Transfer Market upgrades in franchise history, with an overhaul that touches every part of the experience in Manager Career.

From smarter AI decision-making to new negotiation features, fresh cutscenes, and a more realistic transfer process, we’re making buying and selling players feel closer to real-world football.

At the heart of these changes is a new transfer system that reworks how negotiations unfold. Deals now progress through distinct stages, creating a more authentic flow while giving you greater control over every discussion. With a wider range of options and clauses available, there are more opportunities to shape negotiations in your favour, sweeten deals, and get the best possible outcome for your club.

The transfer interface has also been completely redesigned. The previous 3D negotiation scene has been replaced with an interactive 2D experience that makes it easier to navigate discussions, review details, and move deals forward efficiently. Additionally, a new player action list provides a central hub for managing your squad, tracking transfer targets, and making offers.

##### Enhanced by TransferRoom Values

To tie player valuations closer to real football, we've partnered with (https://www.transferroom.com/) - the leading football transfer value platform used by football clubs to sign players - to develop a new valuation model for Manager Career informed by their market-leading Expected Transfer Value (xTV) system.

Player valuations now evolve throughout your career, adapting to changes in the market over multiple seasons rather than remaining static. The xTV system works alongside the existing adjusted value model, which adds value by taking factors such as player form and the strength of their league into account.

Together, these systems help ensure transfer fees and AI negotiations feel more believable and authentic.

##### Transfer Stages

Rather than being resolved in a single conversation, transfers now progress over time, with the time between each stage varying depending on the negotiation. With Transfer Stages, our goal is to create opportunities for unexpected twists, including transfer battles, hijack attempts, last-minute renegotiations, and other authentic scenarios.

When pursuing a new signing, the process begins with an enquiry. Whether you're looking to buy a player, arrange a loan, approach a free agent, or target someone nearing the end of their contract, you'll first need to gauge interest from the relevant club or player. After a short wait, you'll receive a response, which could open the door to negotiations or bring your pursuit to an end.

Negotiations can only begin once permission is granted, with discussions between the buying club, selling club, and player taking place in parallel. If you'd rather focus on other areas of club management, you can also delegate responsibility over to your Director of Football and allow them to negotiate on your behalf.

A new part of this process is that transfer negotiations can evolve even after an agreement is reached. Interest from rival clubs may lead to fresh demands from either the club or the player, forcing you back to the negotiating table before a deal can be fully completed.

The same staged approach applies when selling players. Offers from other clubs arrive over time, giving you the opportunity to evaluate interest and decide how to proceed
