The transfer window in the Saudi Pro League (SPL) will close on September 7 according to the website. The SPL has been a major recruiting market in the current transfer window that has attracted big names like Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and N’Golo Kante. The SPL will have an advantage as they can sign players from major European leagues after their deadline is crossed on September 2, leaving them with a gap to fill if a certain player leaves after the deadline.
Can clubs complete deals after transfer window is closed?
As explained clubs cannot trade players once the deadline is crossed, however, FIFA allows two hours of allowance for the clubs if a certain deal is on the table. If two clubs have agreed on a player transfer and have submitted a ‘deal sheet’ to the league authorities, then a two-hour extension is handed for the clubs to get the deal done. So a Premier League club can complete a deal by 5:30 AM on September 2 if a proper deal sheet is submitted.
