Transfer deadline day delivered and ended with a bang. And the last few moves are still trickling in. Tuesday, Aug. 31 was the day the transfer window closed shut on clubs looking to make final reinforcements for the season before the next transfer window in the winter.
Tuesday 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 as in the case of Radamel Falcao (linked with Rayo Vallecano), Serge Aurier (contract terminated at Tottenham), Sidnei (contract with Real Betis rescinded), and Martin Caceres (set to sign with Cagliari). 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.
The tracker with all the official moves (as announced by the clubs) follows below. Here’s the big deadline news you need to know:
- Right at the deadline, Barcelona sent big-money forward Antoine Griezmann on loan to Atletico Madrid and landed Luuk de Jong from Sevilla
- PSG didn’t transfer Kylian Mbappe. Instead, the club added to its loaded squad: Sporting CP left back Nuno Mendes
- Rich getting richer? How about Saul Niguez joining European champs Chelsea from Atletico Madrid
- Real Madrid paid big money to acquire rising star Eduardo Camavinga, who has signed through 2027
- Leeds United nearly spent as much to land 23-year-old Man United winger Daniel James
- Tottenham acquired $30 million Barcelona right back Emerson Royal, who played a grand total of 90 minutes for Barca
- Arsenal paid over $20 million for center back Takehiro Tomiyasu and loaned out Hector Bellerin along with two others
- Newcastle signed Mexican forward Santiago Munoz, one vowel away from having the same name as the star from that Goal! movie
- West Ham mean business after signing Croatian attacking mid Nikola Vlasic and Czech international Alex Kral
- Spain international right wingback Marc Cucurella joined Brighton for a fee over $21 million
- Juventus paid over $6 million to sign promising PSV mid Mohamed Ihattaren, who will be loaned out
- Borussia Dortmund get defensive help, acquiring center back Marin Pongracic on loan
- Moise Kean returns to Juventus on a two-year loan deal from Everton
- RB Leipzig’s $19 million replacement for transferred captain Marcel Sabitzer is Barcelona’s Ilaix Moriba
- Americans abroad: Matthew Hoppe was transferred to La Liga’s Mallorca. Four loans to highlight — Cameron Carter-Vickers to Celtic, Erik Palmer-Brown to Troyes, Philly’s Jack de Vries to Venezia, Chris Richards to Hoffenheim
- There’s still time for Diego Rossi’s move from LAFC to Fenerbahce to be announced. The window in Turkey closes Sept. 8
And here are some of the names that didn’t move despite many rumors:
- Chelsea: Callum Hudson-Odoi and Tino Anjorin both seemed destined for moves, but none were announced. There’s still time for Anjorin’s supposed move to Russia (Sept. 7).
- Sevilla: Chelsea were said to be in pole position for Sevilla’s 22-year-old Jules Counde, but no deal materialized with Sevilla insisting the only way a transfer would happen was the contract release clause being triggered.
- Manchester United: Anthony Martial, who is low on the forward depth chart at United, reportedly did not want a transfer.
- PSG: There was interest in striker Mauro Icardi, but much like what occurred with Mbappe, PSG weren’t interested in selling.
- Barcelona: Despite a desire to move them along due to budget and squad considerations, Miralem Pjanic and Riqui Puig stayed put.
- AC Milan: Yacine Adli’s year-long loan to Bordeaux could explain Samu Castillejo sticking around during this window.
- Liverpool: There was talk that Divock Origi was seeking a move, but nothing materialized.
- Everton: There was no deal to be made for James Rodriguez. We’ll see what his next few months look like at Everton.
- Manchester City: The Bernardo Silva rumors had been dying down over recent days, and he ultimately stays with the Citizens.
- Porto: The 28-year-old Mexican international ‘Tecatito’ Corona will play out the final year of his contract at Porto.
- Arsenal: The reports on deadline day indicated that Ainsley Maitland-Niles had a clear-the-air meeting with the Gunners’ staff and will stay to fight for a spot.
