About Us | TransferRoom

Our Story

Starting research

In 2016, Jonas Ankersen started intensive market research and was meeting Sporting Directors from football clubs across Europe to discuss their challenges in the transfer market.

It became apparent that the key issue in the transfer market was the lack of transparency and access to credible market information. There was often no direct line of communication between decision-makers. Buying clubs had no reliable intelligence about which players were available, while selling clubs lacked information about which player profiles the buying clubs were seeking.

Essence of TransferRoom

When selling a player you want to appeal to as many potential buyers as possible, and when buying you want to be exposed to as many relevant options as you can. This is in essence what TransferRoom is about: more market access and more transparency.

Online marketplaces have transformed most industries and made them more efficient. For years football clubs had restricted access to the transfer market. TransferRoom is now changing this.
