Transfer deadline live: bids & medicals \u2014 ComeNowSports

Newsroom desk Updated 16:30 UTC · Live blog 16 Jul 2026

This is our rolling live coverage of the transfer deadline. Each confirmed move appears with the sourcing behind it and the moment the deal was registered with the competition. We pause updates if a deal appears to be in doubt and we never publish a deal as confirmed without a named source at the clubs or the player's representative.

Confirmed moves

The first confirmed deal of the afternoon came at 13:14 UTC, a permanent transfer with a three-year contract and an option year. We will update this list with each deal as it clears the paperwork.

Live negotiations

Three deals are currently in personal-terms discussions; structure agreed or fees agreed but paperwork outstanding. We will not move a deal into the confirmed list until the paperwork has cleared at both clubs and the registering body.

Medical bookings

Medical bookings are a strong indicator of intent. Two of the day's pending deals are expected to fly for medicals this evening if personal terms close.

Window clock

The window closes at 23:00 BST tonight. The Times column below shows the staggered deadlines by club; we update it as each club confirms its final submission time.

How we cover the deadline

We do not publish a deal as confirmed without at least two named sources. Where one side has confirmed and the other has not, we say so explicitly. The reader can see the sourcing behind each entry.

Source protection

Confidential information supplied through deadline-day channels is treated under the editorial standards. We publish the metadata we will request before any story runs.
