When does the January transfer window 2025 close? Key dates

The winter transfer window, unlike the summer one, is driven by urgency, uncertainty, and desperation, often leading to cut-price deals.

It opened on January 1, 2025, across most of Europe, including the Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A, and Ligue 1, while Eredivisie, Primeira Liga, and La Liga started on January 2. Teams that acted early have already strengthened their squads, and players in the final six months of their contracts can now negotiate with other clubs.

The window typically closes on January 31, but in the UK, France, Germany, and Spain, it ends on February 3, with specific closure times for each league. Italy, Portugal, and the Netherlands close on February 4, and Turkey's window ends on February 11. The Saudi Pro League closes on January 31.
