There are limits for different facets of the transfer market.

Forced free bench player buys | 0 | 21 | — |
“FREE” Free Bench players | 0 | 21 | — |
Clubs must maintain between 21 and 32 players.
Managers may only trade a maximum of 6 players with other clubs: 3 in and 3 out. However, they may buy any number of players off of the Free Bench up to the maximum club size of 32.
Aside from trading players in the transfer market, the only way for a manager to “fire” a player is to not renew their contract. It is important for managers to ensure that they stay at or above the 21 player minimum, otherwise they will receive low-ranked players from the Free Bench at the end of the season.
When a manager lists a player for auction in the transfer market, the auction lasts for 7 days, after which it expires.
If a club is in debt at the end of a season, it may be forced to sell valuable players and possibly acquire low rated players from the Free Bench if the squad size is below the minimum amount. See the section on “Resolving End-of-Season Debt” for more information.
