Summer transfer window closing dates & times for major international leagues including La Liga & Bundesliga

It promises to be a frantic end to the summer transfer window for both clubs at home and abroad.

Teams across the continent and further afield have until the end of this month or into September to add to wheel and deal in an attempt to strengthen their hands for the campaign ahead.

Premier League teams have already surpassed the £1.5 billion mark in terms of expenditure with a large number of deals expected to get the green light over the final stretches of the window.

But whilst the window will slam shut in England on Tuesday 1st September, other leagues around the world have varying dates and times as to when their teams can seal new signings up until.
