August 9,2022

Happy Tuesday everyboody and welcome along to yet another day of this Springnewsng In English transfer market live blog for Tuesday, August 9.

We are well into August now, moving swiftly through its second week. So the 2022 summer transfer window clubs all over Europe are rushing to get deals done ahead of the market’s closure at the end of the month, and even more so as the football season starts long before the window closes this year.

Some of Europe’s leagues have already kicked off, exposing the shortcomings of some squads after just one game, which could lead to a burst of activity.

Some windows also close earlier than others, so many operations are being finalised and confirmed and we’ll bring you the details of the major deals that are announced this Tuesday.

We’ll also bring you the juiciest transfer rumours on this transfer market live blog, where updates follow below and where the most recent entries are those nearest the top.
