Transfer deadline day is upon us, and it spells the end of one of the most significant windows in recent memory.
Both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have moved clubs, with Messi leaving Barcelona for Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer, and Ronaldo rejoining Manchester United after 12 years away.
This window has also seen Manchester City break the British transfer record by splashing £100million on Euro 2020 darling Jack Grealish, Chelsea fork out £97.5m to bring back Romelu Lukaku and United add Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane.
England captain Harry Kane was subject to a series of bids from City, but will be staying at Tottenham. However, there are plenty of high profile moves that could still go through on the last day of August.
When is deadline day?
Deadline day falls on Tuesday 31 August for Premier League, EFL and Scottish clubs, as well as teams in the Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1 and La Liga.
What time does the transfer window close?
In England and Scotland the cut-off point is 11pm BST – and the window will also close at 11pm local time in Spain and Italy.
In France it is 12.59am BST (on Wednesday 1 September) and Germany is a little earlier at 5pm.
However, you may see some deals go through in the early hours of Wednesday morning. This is acceptable so long as the relevant paperwork is submitted before the deadline.
Which moves could still happen?
PSG star Kylian Mbappé is one of the big stories of the day. Real Madrid have been trying to convince the French club to part with him before he becomes a free agent next summer, but they may have to bid €200m to secure him.
Daniel James looks as if he may be on his way from Manchester United to Leeds, while Callum Hudson-Odoi could seal a loan move away from Chelsea, with Borussia Dortmund interested.
Arsenal are refusing to sell Ainsley Maitland-Niles to Everton, but Hector Bellerin appears to be heading back to Spain to join Real Betis.
Tottenham are trying to sort a deal for Barcelona full-back Emerson Royal, and Leicester are reportedly after RB Leipzig’s Ademola Lookman.
