When is the next transfer window after January?
An exciting January window has finally come to an end
The January transfer window comes to an end and clubs have spent enormous sums of money to get players. The Premier League was once again the only league to spend the largest sum on player acquisitions, with a record-breaking £815 million.
Additionally, more than £275 million was spent on deadline day, which brings the English top flight's record to £2.8 billion in the 2022–23 season.
Enzo Fernandez of Benfica, who joined Chelsea for 121 million euros, broke Jack Grealish's £100 million transfer from Aston Villa to Manchester City as the most expensive British transfer. In the meantime, many players were signed to loan deals and others were acquired on a permanent basis.
And now that the January transfer period has ended, when will the summer transfer period begin?
The summer transfer window is active from June 10 to September 1. The majority of transfers take place during the summer transfer window because clubs find it to be more comfortable as it is longer and allow for more time to negotiate agreements.
While clubs also prefer to sell players during the summer transfer window since it is easier to find players during the long window than during the winter transfer window, signing new players enables them to take part in pre-season games to acclimatise to new leagues.
Varying European top-five leagues have different deadlines for the summer transfer period.
Premier League – 11 pm BST
La Liga: 10:59 p.m. local time
Serie A: 5 p.m. local time
Bundesliga, 5 p.m. local time
Ligue 1 – 11:59 pm local time.
Which players could switch teams during the summer transfer period?
Given his dismal form since joining Chelsea in the summer and the fact that he hasn't performed well enough to start any games, Chelsea may decide to transfer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Joao Felix acquired on loan, will return to Atletico Madrid.
Barcelona are considering signing Felix on a permanent basis and also has an interest in Sofyan Amrabat after failing to sign him on loan in the January transfer window.
Jude Bellingham, who has been on Liverpool's radar, might join them this summer. Meanwhile, Manchester United could still be pursuing Frenkie De Jong.
After failing to satisfy Brighton Hove & Albion's £90m price for Moises Caicedo, Arsenal could make another attempt at a summer transfer.
In addition, Joao Cancelo's return to Manchester City may be dependent on how he feels following his altercation with Guardiola that resulted in his loan transfer to Bayern Munich.
Due to their lack of a left-back and a striker, Real Madrid will also attempt to sign players. The club rejected Dusan Vlahovic and Jose Gvardiol's offers, a summer transfer may be in the works if the Spanish club decides to reconsider.
Lionel Messi has not extended his contract, which ends this summer, and the player will become a free agent. Hakim Ziyech was close to joining PSG, but document problems have temporarily stopped the signing.
However, there will be more signings because many teams in Europe will participate in bid negotiations or loan acquisitions, and it's possible that there could be a record number of moves.
