What this deadline means
The window is a registration period, so the date that matters is the moment the filing system closes, not the moment a fee is agreed. A deal announced after the deadline can only be registered when the next window opens.
Serie A runs its own calendar. Nothing obliges Italy to align its dates with the other leagues in this reference, and the confirmed calendar proves the point: the five leagues close within a day of each other, but not at the same hour.
The mid-season period is capped at four weeks by the FIFA regulations, which is why January business is compressed and why the final 48 hours carry a disproportionate share of the deals.
