The Economic principal I’m doing is People gain when they trade voluntarily.
 My Topic is: What ways do Soccer Trades happen that being loans, selling players, or player swaps? 

The subtopic I’m doing today How do they work?

Soccer transfers happen twice a year the first one being between the end of the first season and in Europe August 31st, in America August 9th and the other being sometime during the middle of the season, each country decides when they would like to have it. In England, it was from the first to the 31st of January this year.

 The BBC published an article about this very topic called “How does a football transfer work?” and they do a pretty good job explaining what goes down when a player gets transferred like asking “Who gets the money?” and the answer to that, isn’t the player but the club he’s moving to and prime example was when Neymar jr. went from Barcelona to PSG and paid the buyout clause in Neymar's old Barcelona contract, which was set at 222m euros. So the 222m euros went to Barcelona instead of Neymar and some of the money went to Neymar’s agent as well.

 In my next blog post, I will research the question “What happens if something were to happen to the player in question?”

  1. I was interested to see that each country can decide when they want to trade players. I think its an interesting topic and I would definitely like to know more about it because I do love soccer. One piece of advice would be to make your last paragraph into more separate sentences it felt a little like a run on sentence.

  2. It was interesting to see how the money is distributed in a trade
