Dates set for unusual Serie A transfer sessions in 2025-26 | OneFootball

The Lega Serie A has confirmed the dates when the summer and January 2025-26 transfer sessions will run, but there are changes forced by the Club World Cup.

As the 2024-25 campaign is nearing its conclusion, the authorities begin preparation for the 2025-26 season.

It is now confirmed that the summer transfer market will run from July 1 to September 1, with the deadline at 20.00 local time.

Club World Cup forces Serie A changes

However, this is not a normal summer, because Inter and Juventus are involved in the newly expanded 2025 Club World Cup in the United States of America.

That tournament runs from June 15 to July 13, so some players could be out of contract or have their loan deals expire midway through the competition.

With that in mind, the Lega Serie A is opening up an extra window for those clubs from June 1 to June 20, with the deadline at 20.00 local time.

It allows Inter and Juventus to sell or buy players so that they will be available throughout the Club World Cup.

The January transfer window is also confirmed for 2026, running from January 2 to February 2, with again the deadline at 20.00 local time.
