Winter Transfers: January Window Summary 2024

The German professional football clubs were able to sign new players until 8 p.m. this Monday. The winter transfer period, which began on New Year’s Day, has now ended.

There is usually still a lot of movement in the transfer market on the so-called deadline day, both on the entry and exit sides.

In other top European leagues, the transfer deadline also ends on Monday, although sometimes at different times. Departures are then still possible to countries with a later transfer deadline.

As a rule, January 31st or February 1st are the traditional deadline day in winter. Since these fell on a Saturday and Sunday in 2026, the end of the change period was set for February 2nd.
