The winter transfer window is now open, and clubs can begin to add reinforcements or offload players until 11pm GMT on Thursday, February 1. The major leagues in Europe, including La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1, and the Bundesliga, have also agreed on the same deadline day.
Pre-contract agreements can be signed up to six months before a player’s contract expires. However, in England, the talks can begin only a month before the contract expires for domestic transfers, to avoid conflicts of interest.
Several notable players in the Premier League are eligible to sign pre-contract agreements, including Raphael Varane, Thiago, Jorginho, Thiago Silva, Fabian Schar, and many others. Clubs need to act wisely in securing these players before their contracts expire.
