Apologies if this's already been answered somewhere, but, how has this been completed if the UK and Spanish transfer windows 'slammed shut' several weeks ago?

He can't play for Athletic until Jan 1st as they are subject to a transfer ban - but this seems to have been completed today. Has he bought out his contract so as to be declared a free agent, and therefore he's not technically transferred from another club or something?

Re: Diego Costa's transfer
Pre-contract agreement or something. Haven't Chelsea 'signed' a player a year in advance?

Re: Diego Costa's transfer
Just because the window is shut, doesn't mean transfers can't still happen.
Barca did it during their transfer ban, signed 2 players who couldn't be registered until the January.
