A transfer deal sheet is essentially a document that allows clubs to officially confirm a deal has been struck before the transfer deadline expires. With some agreements being reached at the eleventh hour, clubs often only have minutes to dispatch the necessary paperwork to validate a transfer.
In essence, transfer deal sheets offer clubs a quick-fire way to indicate that a deal has been sealed. Once the document has been filled out and dispatched, teams are granted an additional two hours to wrap up the remaining paperwork.
The transfer deal sheet, a crucial document in the football world, must be submitted before the 11pm deadline but can only be used from 9pm onwards. Clubs are then given an additional two hours to finalise the transfer.

If they fail to meet this deadline, the deal becomes void. These sheets detail the player’s move from one club to another, including the transfer or loan fee and any potential add-ons.
Introduced in the Premier League in 2008, these sheets were designed to prevent late deals from collapsing due to paperwork issues.
