The 2024 summer transfer window promises to be another busy period. Most leagues in Europe opened their windows on July 1, while the general deadline for closing is slightly earlier than usual -- on Friday, Aug. 30.
In past years when the usual deadline of the 31st has fallen on a weekend it has been extended, for instance in this case it would be to Monday, Sept. 2. However, on this occasion the leagues have chosen to close the window on the Friday.
The closing date was set following discussions between the top five European leagues. Other associations can still choose to end the window at a later date than Aug. 30.
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 Aug. 30.
Deals can be agreed between leagues with transfer windows which are closed. They will be officially completed if or when the signing club's window is open.
