Open for another week? Their rules state teams can have 10 foreign players, of which 2 have to have been born '03 or later.

Saudi Transfer Window - still open
- Thread starter Bastian
- Start date
Our current squad will be our squad until January at the very least.
According to TalkSport the Saudi transfer window closes on Monday 2nd of September

Maybe sell Lindelof and Eriksen to Saudi?
I've seen the 7th of September, 6th of October, and now 2nd of September. Not sure which to believe. I'll change the title though.
I think you’ve got that the wrong way around. I believe it’s 8 senior foreign players and 2 under-21.
If only
This is going to be interesting, according to the journos, the Saudi's have kept away from buying any players until the European window shuts. Therefore no competition for players they want and they can take advantage of clubs who need to sell players or get them off the books on a loan.
Whether European clubs bite and allow players to leave without being able to replace them till January remains to be seen.
Also their window shuts on Oct 6th

Despite the closure of the transfer window in England on 30 August, clubs can still sell players to countries where it is still open.
For example, the transfer window in Saudi Arabia will close on 6 October, and Turkey's closes on 13 September.

From the players we realistically want to move on, I can see Lindelof/Eriksen wanting to go to Saudi. Think they still want to stick around Europe.
Alas, I can’t see us doing any business.

I would agree apart from the chance that a SPL club makes them a financial offer they can't refuse.
Open till Oct 6th. Might be worth updating the thread title so people don't get confused
Saudi transfer window closes on the 2nd September, according to Transfermarkt https://www.transfermarkt.com/statistik/transferfenster
Other possible markets for Lindelof (if he can get fit enough to pass the medical) and Eriksen are Brazil, Denmark, Netherlands (I could see an Ajax return appealing to Eriksen), Norway, Portugal - All 2nd September.
Austria - 5th September
Belgium - 6th September (Eriksen was linked earlier in the window to Anderlecht but was said to be too expensive for them wages and fee)
Switzerland - 9th September
Greece - 11th September
Turkey - 13th September (Most likely option for both players)
Israel - 18th September

thats incorrect it closes on October 6th. BBC football have said that. As has the website youve quoted
The summer transfer window opens on July 18, 2024 and closes on Oct 6, 2024. The winter window opens on Jan 1, 2025 and closes on Jan 31, 2025. The season starts on August 22, 2024 and ends May 26, 2025. Al-Fayha (12.)

They were interested, but couldn't afford him.
Antony, Maguire and Casemiro please, and then sign Rabiot on a free transfer
Think we could just about to manage with 3 wingers this season, Bruno and Mount can cover for the RW spot.
Load our ammunition for next summer.

I wonder what would happen with Man City's players if the club were found guilty and were relegated?
I'd certainly take Rodri, foden, haaland etc.
Be interesting to see how many they would lose ..
We definitely need to keep Maguire and Casemiro now, as both will play a significant part in the first team. Antony, Eriksen and Lindelof won’t, so may be disposed of
Without another midfielder brought in for cover, I don’t know how we can afford to sell Eriksen at this stage. Mount is out. Just sold Sancho, who could play the 10 if needed. So if we sell Eriksen, we have Bruno, Mainoo, Casemiro, Ugarte, and Collyer. Just don’t think that’s enough depth in the midfield for the amount of games we play.
Cant see too many of them doing what Del Piero, Nedved and Buffon did when Juve got relegated. Foden might be the only one that would stay.
Just sold Sancho. 
Lindelof, eriksen go
Interesting... maybe Berrada has certain ideas about how to solve our lack of firepower and DLP.
Can we change the thread to a one stop shop to to include all transfer windows that are still open? If not can we have a new thread for the Turkish transfer window? (I don't have forum rights to do myself)
The Turkey transfer window closes on September 18th and they have a history of taking players from across Europe
I'm hoping this means lindelof and Eriksen :-)

Jose's surely gonna help us out and take Lindelof?
Is Jose that bad as a manager that he would buy him twice?
Casemiro hopefully
Think after today we can see Casemiro can be sold just for a very small fee just to get off the wage books. Collyer can get some experience.
Get rid of Casemiro now
Rashford might be keen?
There’s no way we can afford to sell another midfielder no matter how bad he was today! One injury to Ugarte or Mainoo and we’d have to rely on a very raw Collyer and not much else
When Yoro is back in October we can really think about a different shape.
Chelsea have sold Angelo Gabriel to Al Nassr for £19m and made a £6m profit even though he never played for them
Chelsea signed the 19-year-old forward for £13m from Santos last summer and he spent last season on loan at parent club Strasbourg

Chelesa's deals with Saudi are always the dodgiest.
Smalling also goes to Saudi after Roma terminates his contract.

Kante - £0
Mendy - £15m
Koulibably - £17m
Which one of those is ‘dodgy’?
When Liverpool flogged 33 year old Henderson for £12m and Fabinho went for £40m I don’t think either of the above seem unreasonable.
Letting Kante go on a free is dodgy, you ripped yourselves off!
