When does the summer transfer window close? Premier League, Serie A, LaLiga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1

All leagues have now confirmed their summer transfer window dates. 

Clubs in all leagues will still be able to sign players as free agents after the deadline, and as long as they are not officially attached to any club on Thursday, Sept. 1. 

The general deadline is Sept. 1 rather than Aug. 31 as there are many games in the Premier League, Serie A and Ligue 1 on Aug. 31. 

Deals can be agreed between leagues with different transfer windows. They will be officially completed if or when the signing club's window is open.
