The 2024 summer transfer window promises to be one of the busiest ever and eyes are already turning to all the possible deals.
The winter window was a bit of a damp squib as financial constraints limited the majority of Premier League clubs into doing little business.
However, that is set to change this summer after clubs have agreed in principle to change the profit and sustainability rules.
Ivan Toney and Victor Osimhen have both been linked with huge moves across Europe, with several other stars hoping to move.
Kylian Mbappe's future is a bit more clear than the others, with a move to Real Madrid all but done.
We now have a confirmed date for the start of the transfer window.
Premier League clubs will be able to start trading from Friday, June 14 onwards.
But international deals can only be confirmed from July 1 onward.
Of course, there are also two international tournaments taking place, with Euro 2024 and Copa America 2024 being held over the summer.
These won't impact the dates of the window, but a lot of business won't kick in until after the conclusion of these events.
The transfer window in Europe is set to be shorter this year, with business ending on Friday, August 30 at 11pm.
The Premier League has typically shut on the first of September but has brought forward Deadline Day to fall in line with other leagues.
However, nations like Saudi Arabia and Turkey often extend their trading period.
This can leave teams vulnerable to any late moves, although top-flight clubs could use the Saudi Pro League as a way to ease some of their financial problems.
Four Saudi clubs are now bankrolled by the Public Investment Fund, while Al-Ettifaq have Steven Gerrard as their manager, so there are likely to be another set of top-flight players heading to the Middle East this summer.
Last year, Premier League clubs spent over £2billion, and there will be more cash splashed this time as well.
But it would be a surprise if we reached that number again, given the financial position many teams find themselves in.
