2023 Summer Transfer Window Weekly Update: Intro Update

2023 Summer Transfer Window Weekly Update: Intro Update

This transfer window has been crazy so far. Messi moving to Inter Miami, more Mbappé-PSG drama and Saudi Arabia becoming a major player in the transfer world have highlighted the window so far.

With all of these transfers happening, it might seem daunting to try and keep up with everything. Luckily, we’ve got you covered with our 2023 Transfer Window Weekly Update.

This first update will be a little longer than the other ones, highlighting all of the transfers that have happened so far during this transfer window. Future ones will only detail news that happened during the previous week.

The focus of these updates will be the major confirmed transfers that happened during the week. By confirmed, I mean actually confirmed. While Fabrizio Romano is usually right, it’s not official until it is official. Things can fall through, players can have a last-second change of heart and rumors can turn out to be completely false.

This is why these updates will focus on confirmed transfers rather than transfers that are likely to be completed. Hakim Ziyech has already proven why it would be stupid to do otherwise.

These updates will be for transfers that have actually happened during this window, not for transfer rumors.

There will be different sections in these updates: Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1, Saudi Arabia and Other Transfers.

Transfers will be placed into different sections depending on where the player is going. For example, a player moving from Bayern to Manchester City would be put in the Premier League transfers section.

With all of that out of the way, let’s hop right into it.

Premier League Transfers

The best league in the world always produces some spicy transfer moves every window. This summer is no exception, with teams breaking the bank for players early in the window. These are the players who have made moves to the Premier League so far this summer:

La Liga Transfers

La Liga has also started off this window with some exciting signings, with Jude Bellingham headlining the list. İlkay Gündoğan’s move to Barcelona has also stirred up some excitement.

Bundesliga Transfers

So far, the Bundesliga is winning in terms of the number of confirmed transfers. 41 players have already moved to the Bundesliga this window and plenty more are sure to follow.

Serie A Transfers

If anyone knows how to make a loan-move permanent, it is clubs in Serie A. Many of the transfers so far this window have been players previously on loan with their new clubs.

Ligue 1 Transfers

While it is usually the PSG transfers that make headlines in France, it is now the PSG exits that are taking all of the attention. There are still plenty of quality players moving to Ligue 1 this window, however

Saudi Arabia Transfers

When Cristiano Ronaldo moved to Al-Nassr last January, he put the Saudi Pro league on the map. Now, the league has been making waves this transfer window with some impressive signings. Expect more to come in the coming days and weeks from Saudi Arabia.

Steven Gerrard has also agreed to become the head coach of Saudi club Al-Ettifaq in recent days.

Other Transfers

The biggest transfer of this transfer window so far has undoubtedly been Lionel Messi’s move to Inter Miami. This shocked the footballing world and American soccer fans are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the legendary Argentine.

Messi has also been joined in Miami by former Barcelona teammate Sergio Busquets. It will be interesting to see who else these two can bring with them as this transfer window rolls on.

Teemu Pukki is moving to Minnesota United from Norwich City, and Scott Arfield is moving to Charlotte FC from Rangers.

USMNT striker Ricardo Pepi is also on the move, inking a long-term contract with Dutch-side PSV.

All of these transfers have happened just in the opening stage of the 2023 summer transfer window. There is plenty of transfer drama ahead of us in the coming weeks, so make sure to read next week’s update to stay up to date with all of your transfer news.
