Can football players be signed on loan outside the transfer window?

Question

I have 2 questions:
1.Can Real Madrid sign Michael Ballack on loan right now ?
2.Can Ballack buy himself out of his contract with Chelsea(thereby becoming a free-agent) and then sign with Real Madrid(outside the transfer window,again)?

Just wondering......I don't know much about transfers and loan deals.
PS:I am asking this again because I didn't get a complete answer last time.

Answer 1

1. No, he won't be able to play under any case till the transfer window opens again in Janauary. They can sign him ofcourse, but will officialy move only in January.



2. He can buy himself out (i doubt he has the money though), but then again, he cant play for Madrid until the transfer window opens.



To help make it clear, the only players outside the registered players in Madrid that can play first team before january, are the ones in the youth system Madrid B, C.

Any player from outside the club has to wait till the transfer window.

Answer 2

A couple of Youth players, otherwise NOONE so far. BQ: This January transfer window has been a real let down so far FQ: Vagner Love to Flamengo wasn't a loan so no.

Answer 3

football players signed loan transfer window

Answer 4

Within the Dutch league the loans thing is standard practice, but I don't know if this is true for other leagues, or if it's possible in international transfers. If it is possible, and he moves before he's played for Chelsea in the CL he can't play for Real Madrid in the CL group stage. He'd have to wait till the QF. If he does play in the CL for Chelsea first, he can't play for Real in the CL all season.



What is certainly possible is for Chelsea to fire Ballack, or for Ballack to buy out his contract. That would leave him without a club, and in that case, any club can snap him up.

Answer 5

They can't sign him on loan until January 1st, and if he did buy himself out of his contract they could sign him up but he would be ineligable to play until January 1st.



In England, loans in the Football League can still take place outside the normal transfer windows.

Answer 6

NO.



Many countries, including all UEFA members, do not permit loans to commence beyond a transfer deadline for each season

Answer 7

Signing Players Outside Transfer Window

Answer 8

1. No

2. Yes. He can't play in the CL because registration is closed, but he is EU National, and would be able to play friendlies and domestic matches. I think he'd have some trouble playing on one leg though.
