From interest to a completed move
- Interest or proposal
- A possible destination, a suggested trade and an actual offer are not interchangeable. The attribution should tell you which is being reported.
- Agreement
- Even an agreed deal may still have conditions. Read the report for outstanding approvals, examinations or registration steps.
- Announcement
- Use the club or league announcement to check the completed transaction. Earlier stories remain useful context, not the current roster.
