Question for how transfers work in real life for clubs with another professional team. I’m looking at bringing players from Stuttgart II to Stuttgart.
From what I can find online, in real life they simply promote the player when he is ready.
Obviously in FIFA, they are different clubs and require a transfer fee. Are there any restrictions in real life? Like they can only promote during the transfer window or they have to pay a fee to bring a player up?
I am going to handle it like Major League Baseball teams in America do just for the sake of the fee for FIFA. In baseball, they “purchase” the contract of the player to move them up a team. Paying €400,000 to their lower league team in order to promote a player basically.

The game doesn't recognize them as two squads within the same organization. But that is essentially how it works in Europe. You belong to an organization, not to a team within the organization.
A "TRANSFER" is a change of football organization. Moving up from second to first team is an internal change within the same organization. It's like being promoted at a current employer.
In theory, a player can be moved between first and second team an unlimited amount of times. If there are any restrictions, they come from the national football association and they usually apply to moving players down from first back to second team. From the viewpoint of 'honest competition' teams with highly ranked second teams would be at an unfair advantage if they could suddenly add players from the first team at random -- it's not forbidden, but very restricted.
Thank you. That is what I was kind of thinking, much like baseball here in America where players can move up and down unlimited times. I could not find a clear answer online and since teams can be promoted, I was not sure if there was a different rule.
I will just have to make some fake fee for the game so the transfer budget is not out of line. I made two moves, both less than a million euros each so it is not a big move but when I have a small budget already, it does make a minor impact.
