How do transfer fees work?

When a player moves between clubs, a transfer fee is paid to their current team. This fee is often negotiated, with the selling club wanting the highest price and the buying club aiming for a lower one. Here, Galatasaray values Osimhen at £65m, but Tottenham has offered a package between £50m and £55m, highlighting the negotiation process that will likely unfold.
