Discussing FIFA transfer rules

I’m thinking about the FIFA rules that ban international transfers of minors under 18, unless they're moving within the EU/EEA. If a player is 17 and turning 18 soon, a transfer like Bayern signing a non-EU player would need to wait until he turns 18, unless his family relocates. I could discuss possible next steps, like medical exams or timeline, and ask if the user wants a player profile while keeping it concise. It's important to avoid guessing the player’s information.Summarizing transfer mechanics

I can say that if the information is accurate, the typical process would involve pre-agreement for the player to join at 18 due to FIFA rules, registering as a non-EU player. I'll include risk disclaimers and offer to verify with sources, or suggest searching online—though I should check with the user first. I’ll acknowledge the report about Bayern being close to signing a 17-year-old Ecuadorian center-back and provide context about the timeline, perhaps including examples of similar signings by Bayern.Considering transfer examples

I might mention examples like Hincapié going to Leverkusen from Talleres at 19, or Chelsea signing Kendry Paez at 16 but with him joining at 18—both are similar cases. I can offer to retrieve the original report, including details on the fee, contract length, and timeline. Also, I could provide a scouting snapshot if the user shares the player's name, or I could even fetch clips. Keeping formatting light will help make it clear and concise.
