Usually closed on August 31, the transfer window offers 24 hours of extension this year.
It’s the last straight line. That of all the dangers and all the hopes. Only a few days left before the end of the transfer market, the departure or (probably) no Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid, Bradley Barcola to PSG, Marco Verratti to Qatar and a host of stars in Saudi Arabia. But beware, in this summer transfer window 2023, there is a small feint and the biggest have fallen into it. While traditionally, the transfer market ends on August 31 at midnight (or rather at 11:59 p.m. to avoid all the imbroglios), this year, the agents have gained a day off: due to the calendar, the transfer window is extended until to Friday, September 1, 11:59 p.m.
White: “you cheer me up”
Laurent Blanc himself, coach of Lyon who is suffering in the transfer market, learned last Friday at a press conference, from the mouths of journalists, that he would have one more day to bring in the long-awaited 6 and dribble the penalties of the DNCG. “You cheer me up,” he smiled. A date more or less harmonized throughout Europe.
But if this extra day is welcome for some, it is especially the next 7 days that worry European football. Because if in Europe, the transfer window ends on September 1, it will be a week later in Saudi Arabia, on September 7 (well on Thursday evening, this time). And given the explosion of the Saudi offensive on European football (Benzema, Mané, Brozovic, up to Gabri Veiga and Ruben Neves), many coaches are worried, in particular Jürgen Klopp, who has to face insistent rumors of XXL offer for Mohamed Salah and whose great fear is a departure between September 2 and 7. “It would be a disaster,” said the German technician.
