2. Manchester City signed Mathys Detourbet from ES Troyes AC for a reported €25 million, before immediately loaning the 19-year-old winger to AS Monaco.

5. SS Lazio signed experienced Spanish full-back Alfonso Pedraza on a free transfer after his departure from Villarreal CF.
6. Ivorian striker Sébastien Haller moved from FC Utrecht to Sanfrecce Hiroshima on a free transfer, marking his first spell outside European football.
7. Olympiacos F.C. signed Angolan defender David Carmo permanently from Nottingham Forest F.C. after a successful loan stint.
8. Stade Rennais F.C. recruited Spanish forward Eliezer Mayenda from Sunderland A.F.C.
