In North American basketball, football, baseball, hockey, etc. you always see multi-player and multi-team deals that sometimes involve direct cash transactions. In European soccer, it's always the rights to one player being purchased by one club, then that player signing a contract with the new team. Sometimes teams can get players on free (Bosman) transfers, but it still seems like it's always single-player, single-team transactions.

soccer teams don't have any restrictions on squad sizes, wages, etc so they don't need to lose players to fit others in.

This happens because there is a basic difference between football and basketball:
1. Football teams don't have a salary cap
2. Most of the teams sign contracts with players that are going to fit in the manager's plans and not just for having them.
Even though teams sign up players and give them on loan to other teams in order to help them improve and have the opportunity to play more matches than usual
