  • When's the January transfer window?

    From Mark@21:1/5 to All on Wed Mar 5 17:48:58 2025
    I thought it was exactly that - January 1-31. Apparently Vitor Roque
    moved from Barcelona to Palmeiras on Feb 28. How? Is the transfer
    window not the same all over the world?

    Talking of which, when's the other transfer window? It ends on Aug 31
    doesn't it? I'm not sure when it starts though.

    That deal was done outside of the Spanish transfer window but
    before the end of the Brazilian transfer window. Barcelona had
    to go through FIFA to get the deal done as La Liga and the
    Spanish Federation objected. (Because the Spanish transfer
    window had closed.) But of course, Barcelona got their own way
    and FIFA approved the transfer.

    Aug 31 doesn't it? I'm not sure when it starts though.

    In the UK the summer transfer window opens on June 12th.
