Context paragraphs:
Denis Law: Denis Law, CBE (born 24 February 1940) is a Scottish former footballer who played as a forward.  His career as a football player began at Second Division Huddersfield Town in 1956.  After four years at Huddersfield, he was signed by Manchester City for a transfer fee of £55,000, which set a new British record.  Law spent one year there before Torino bought him for £110,000, this time setting a new record fee for a transfer involving a British player.  Although he played well in Italy, he found it difficult to settle there and signed for Manchester United in 1962, setting another British record transfer fee of £115,000.

2016–17 Juventus F.C. season: The 2016–17 season was Juventus Football Club's 119th in existence and tenth consecutive season in the top flight of Italian football.  Juventus re-designed their kit with a different take on the trademark white and black stripes in this season.  On 26 July 2016, Juventus signing Gonzalo Higuaín became, at the time, the third highest football transfer of all-time and highest ever transfer for an Italian club, when he signed for €90 million from Napoli.  On 8 August 2016, Paul Pogba returned to his first club, Manchester United, for an all-time record for highest football transfer fee at €105 million, surpassing the former record holder Gareth Bale.

Transfer (association football): In professional football, a transfer is the action taken whenever a player under contract moves between clubs.  It refers to the transferring of a player's registration from one association football club to another.  In general, the players can only be transferred during a transfer window and according to the rules set by a governing body.  Usually some sort of compensation is paid for the player's rights, which is known as a transfer fee.  When a player moves from one club to another, their old contract is terminated and they negotiate a new one with the club they are moving to, unlike in American, Canadian and Australian sports, where teams essentially trade existing player contracts.  In some cases, however, transfers can function in a similar manner to player trades, as teams can offer another player on their squad as part of the compensation.

Private transfer fee: Private Transfer Fees (also known as Reconveyance Fees, Capital Recovery Fees, Residential Transfer Fees, and Transfer Fee Covenants) are a fee charged by US developers and paid by homeowners that are inserted into home sale contracts.  The fees are filed in the public record, run anywhere from 20 years to perpetuity, and require up to a 1% fee to be paid at the final closing of a property each time the property sells, by either the buyer or seller.

Arthur Groves: Arthur Groves (27 September 1907 – after 1939) was an English footballer who played in The Football League for Halifax Town, Blackburn Rovers, Derby County (£500 transfer fee), Portsmouth (£1,500 transfer fee) and Stockport County.  He also played for Atherstone Town.  He was born in Killamarsh.

Veigar Páll Gunnarsson transfer 2011: In the summer of 2011, Veigar Páll Gunnarsson transferred from Stabæk to Vålerenga.  It was later claimed that Stabæk accepted an offer from Vålerenga for Gunnarsson on 1 million NOK, while Rosenborg offered 5 million for Gunnarsson.  At the same time, Vålerenga bought an option for Stabæk's 16-year-old Herman Stengel priced at 4 million.  The contracted sum of this transfer was proportional to the sum that AS Nancy would receive, as a result from the contract of the Gunnarsson transfer in 2009, when Gunnarsson transferred between football clubs AS Nancy and Vålerenga — AS Nancy was to receive 50 percent of the transfer fee next time Gunnarsson was transferred to another club.

Rugby league transfer record: The Rugby league transfer record is the highest-ever sum of money paid by a club to purchase the contract, and therefore the playing services, of another club's player.  It has been re-set almost every decade since the sport became professional around the start of the 20th century.  Between the 1930s, and 1980s international transfer bans were imposed, removed and renewed at different times due to the sport's governing bodies' fears of excessive talent drain overseas.  In 1998, the sport's transfer system was changed to allow any player aged 24 or over to move between clubs at the end of their contract without a fee being paid.  As a result, transfer fees in rugby league became much more uncommon.  The current record fee was paid for Sam Tomkins, for whom the New Zealand Warriors paid £700,000 to the Wigan Warriors in 2013.

Justin Fashanu: Justinus Soni "Justin" Fashanu ( ; 19 February 1961 – 2 May 1998) was an English footballer who played for a variety of clubs between 1978 and 1997.  He was known by his early clubs to be gay, and came out to the press later in his career, becoming the first professional footballer to be openly gay.  He was also the first black footballer to command a £1million transfer fee, with his transfer from Norwich City to Nottingham Forest in 1981, but had little success as a player afterwards, although he continued to play at senior level until 1994.

Gareth Bale: Gareth Frank Bale (born 16 July 1989) is a Welsh professional footballer who plays as a winger for Spanish club Real Madrid and the Wales national team.  Renowned for his ball striking from distance, swerving free kicks, and his ability to get past defenders with pace, Bale has received plaudits from his peers, who have described him as a footballer with "tremendous speed, great crossing ability, a great left foot and exceptional physical qualities".

Phil Collins (speedway rider): Philip David 'Phil' Collins (born 2 June 1960 in Manchester, England) is a former Speedway rider.  He once finished runner-up with England in the World Team Cup final in 1984 and third in 1985.  He was British Under-21 Champion in 1978.  His transfer from Ellesmere Port to Cradley Heath in 1978 for £15,000 was a record transfer fee at the time.
