A player can start talking to a club 6 month before his contact is up. For example Sanchez can agree to join a club in January.

No. He can make an agreement with a non English club from jan onwards.

January Bolger. He can sign a pre contract agreement if I'm correct.

I think it is when they have six months left.

{Ed007's Note - I'm sure it's a month if you're signing with a club in the same FA.}

Ken is right - it's only January for overseas clubs. For English clubs it's after the end of the season I think.

Cheers.

{Ed001's Note - the English FA have tighter restrictions than the rest, so 1 month within England, 6 months outside of England.}

Teams from England are not allowed to negotiate with players in England with expiring contracts until their contracts are up. Unlike teams from Europe who can begin negotiations from Dec 31st. We are allowed to negotiate with players on the continent from Dec 31st.
