European Transfer Deadline Day: Open Thread
The transfer window slams shut today all across Europe’s top leagues, which means if any club wishes to bring in a player under contract with another, they must complete the transfer today.
As of writing, Newcastle United have yet to officially announce they’ve signed Miguel Almiron, although every expectation is that it should be nothing but a formality.
The drama of today could be elsewhere in the Eastern conference. Toronto FC sold Giovinco to Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal FC late last night after a dispute between player and club when negotiating a contract extension. However, that’s not the most high-profile departure we could see from a rival team in the conference.
