But now, the transfer has been ended for the first period. Some transfer have been done, let's see what's deal later for the next period.
Is this transfer period divided in two phases, one takes place before the CWC is played and once that tournament has ended, the transfer window opens up again? If that is how it works this year, I think the CWC is probably the best place for some great players from other areas to show their talent.They usually don't get the chance to play against these European top teams and are dependent on getting scouted. That usually works quite well as they all have extensie scouting, but a tournament like this gives them the 1vs1 chance to show it directly in the games.And later, the second stage will reopen soon, coming on Monday 16 June until 19:00 BST, Monday 1 September. So that the clubs still have a long chance to get their best players.

Has this been done to avoid any last second confusions in the transfer market because of the Club World Cup? Because this means that as soon as the Club World Cup started, clubs can essentially get into negotiations with players that are already playing in that competition. They can't of course transfer them and use them in that competition, but there have been plenty of transfers or contract extensions now that were aiming at getting players in right before the competition starts or give them short period contracts like 1 month to still have them available for this competition and then they can leave and go to their new club or sign new contracts with whomever they want.
