Mercato: 11 p.m. or midnight, but what time does the transfer market close this Friday?

The countdown begins ! There are only a few hours left for Ligue 1 clubs and in particular Paris Saint-Germain to complete the last files in progress. Departure of Hugo Ekitike, arrival of Randal Kolo Muani… The suspense continues and the latest discussions will fuel this last day of the transfer window.

But what time does it close exactly tonight? The question may seem a little absurd, but it nevertheless arises among the players in the transfer market, who were still in the dark this Friday morning. Historically placed at 11:59 p.m., the deadline for the summer transfer window had been reduced to 11 p.m. in 2022, in the same way as during the last winter transfer window. For this window, no official communication from the League had specified the schedule.

Contacted this Friday, the LFP confirmed to us that the transfer window closes at 23 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds, “for the downloading of files”. This is also the case for most of the other European championships but other transfer windows will remain open in the coming days. This is the case of the Saudi Pro League which ended on September 20.
