The 2023 summer transfer window promises to be another busy period, with big names such as Lionel Messi (Paris Saint-Germain), Jude Bellingham (Borussia Dortmund) and Christian Pulisic (Chelsea) among the stars who are on the move.
Most leagues in Europe opened their windows in early July, while the general deadline for closing is Sept. 1 rather than Aug. 31 due to possible midweek fixtures in the Premier League, Serie A and Ligue 1. The winter window will close on Thursday, Feb. 1 for the same reason.
Clubs in all leagues will still be able to sign players as free agents after the deadline, and as long as they are not officially attached to any club on Friday, Sept. 1.
Deals can be agreed between leagues with different transfer windows. They will be officially completed if or when the signing club’s window is open.
