Transfer deadline day delivered with the transfer window closing shut on clubs looking to make final reinforcements for the season before the next transfer window in the winter.
August 31 marked the close of the summer edition of the transfer window for the majority of European leagues, including all the major ones: English Premier League, La Liga, Ligue 1, Serie A and the Bundesliga. The leagues in Russia (Sept. 7) and Turkey (Sept. 8) have an extended transfer window into September.
The next European transfer window comes in the winter, and will last for one month in January 2022 (Jan. 1-Jan. 31).
Clubs can always sign players who are out of contract, but if a transaction requires a transfer of a player under contract with another club, that can only happen inside the designated FIFA transfer windows.
