Overview
- The men's window is open, with England, France, Germany and Italy closing on Monday, February 2 at 7pm UK time, Spain at 11pm, after the date shifted because January 31 falls on a weekend.
- Other deadlines are later, including Portugal on February 3, Austria, Greece and Turkey on February 6, and Switzerland on February 16.
- UEFA allows squad registration for knockout rounds until midnight on February 5, and domestic leagues can accept late paperwork via deal sheets when agreements are reached near the cutoff.
- Players may agree moves outside the window but cannot be registered to play until it opens, free agents can sign at any time, and Premier League loan limits differ from more flexible EFL rules that include emergency goalkeeper provisions.
- Early activity includes Thiago Silva joining FC Porto until season’s end and an agreed loan for Endrick to Lyon, with reported interest from Manchester City in Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo.
