A widely used tool to find out how much a player costs is the specialized website Transfermarkt, which takes into account several factors to determine the value of a player at a specific time. Further, from time to time the web adjusts prices (they can go up, down or stay the same) and that can serve as a guide to know the situation in which a player is.

In some countries, like Spain, there are rescission clauses, which is the price that each club sets for its players and for which any club could sign them without having to negotiate. However, in most cases they are exaggerated figures that do not show the real value of that footballer.
