Is the transfer window closed? What time does it close at in UK and across Europe - why have timings changed
The January transfer window for the 2025/26 season is drawing to a close.
The transfer window opened on Thursday, January 1 and will close on Monday, February 2. Usually, the window slams shut at 11pm in the Premier League, but it will be 7pm this winter.
This is to bring it in line with the other big European leagues and also it's the same as the summer. If clubs submit a deal sheet before that time then they will get an additional two hours - until 21:00 GMT - to complete all the necessary paperwork.
In Scotland, clubs get a bit longer to get deals done with the window closing at 11pm. The transfer window for most major European leagues also closes on 2 February, with below being the main ones to be aware of:
19:00 GMT:
- Italy
- Germany
- France
22:59 GMT:
- Spain
The window also normally ends on January 31. However, because January 31 falls on a Saturday this year, clubs have two extra days to ensure that the final day is on a week day.
Manchester City have been busy with incomings and outgoings, signing Semenyo and Marc Guehi and selling forward Oscar Bobb to Fulham for £27m. Crystal Palace signed forward Brennan Johnson from Tottenham for £35m, while Spurs spent £34m to sign attacking midfielder Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid.
West Ham have spent almost £50m in this window. Brazilian striker Pablo Felipe joined from Portuguese club Gil Vicente for £21.8m, while Lazio striker Taty Castellanos joined for a reported £25.2m.
