The Bundesliga is over for another season, and once the DFB-Pokal final between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen ends on Saturday, attention will turn to the summer transfer window.
This year, the structure is different. In Germany, the window will open for a single day on July 1 to allow player registrations for agreements already made.
After that, it will re-open for new business on July 15, and stay open until October 15.
It means the transfer window will stretch into the new season, which is expected to begin in September, and that will also be the case across other European leagues.
