Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. Welcome back to another 2023 Summer Transfer Window Weekly Update!

Now, before you say it, I know. There was no update last week, and for that, I am sorry. Unfortunately, I have had my own college preseason to deal with and fell behind. However, do not fret. I am back yet again to bring you more Vendetta soccer content, especially these transfer window weekly updates.

Since there was no update last week, we will be looking at all of the completed transfers to happen from August 8 to August 21. To look at previous transfers, check out our previous update.
