| | released | Explanation:
It's not a letter as such and it's not quite the same as a "free transfer". It just means the club have released the player. You can also say the player has become a free agent. A bit more context would be good though.

In that case Robert, you could simply say "Team B have signed the player on a free transfer from Team A", which of course implies that he has been released.
Alternatively you could say "Team A have released the player, allowing Team B to sign him on a free." Less journalistic, but it covers all your angles. It depends on the type of text you're working on.

The documents in questions are usually referred to as "registration forms". When players are transferred, Team A has to release the "registration forms" to Team B so they can sign the player.

sorry, in answer to your question, "release" is ok for "submit" or "forward" I suppose.

I'd put "The player has been released by Club A, who have submitted the registration forms to Club B."
You usually treat teams as "they" by the way.

Asker: thanks :)
Asker: Can't give too much context due to confidentiality, but basically team A has given the player "la carta de libertad" and submit it to team B. thanks again:)
Asker: Thanks :). It's actually a legal document where team A has given de Carta.... and submitted it to team B. How would you express "submitted it" if it isn't a physical letter?
Asker: Great very helpful. I'm going to translate it something in the neighborhood of "....has been released on a free transfer from Club A, who has submitted the forms to Club B" Do you agree?
Asker: True :) It was just a quick "draft". Thanks a million :)
Asker: No probs :), you did good.
