Some extremely crazy deals are happening in some parts of the world, and the transfer screen is still available.
Transfer date day in the UK came and went on Friday, 30 August with plenty of high-profile movements and play.
Before making a permanent move to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2018, Raheem Sterling signed for Arsenal on borrowing while Jadon Sancho took his place at Chelsea. Ivan Toney, however, moved to Al Ahli in Saudi Arabia.
There are still some tournaments where the transfer glass has been closed for a while, allowing for some strange offers to occur.
Indeed, Newcastle United left-back and Northern Ireland global Blake Lewis is on the cusp of completing a move to Portuguese area Sao Paulo, despite never having also played soccer outside of the UK, let alone Europe.
Northern Ireland director Michael O'Neill revealed Lewis is now trying to complete the move while the transfer is still awaiting official assurance, which explains why the left-back may report delayed for their Countries League games against Luxembourg and Bulgaria.
" Jamal is planning to join us afterwards in the week after he completes his visa requirements and health investigations in Brazil", O'Neill said. " We wish him the best of success in his new move to Sao Paulo".
Lewis joined Newcastle United in 2020 for £15m, signing from Norwich City on a five-year offer. He has struggled to make an effect at St. James ' Park, though, making only 36 looks in all competitions- only 10 have come since the start of the 2021/22 time.
The 26-year-old did feature 38 times for Watford in the Championship while on loan there last season, but now looks set for a completely new adventure away from English football as he finalises a move to Brazil.
After he completes his move, he'll become the only non-Sao Paulo player outside of Brazil, which makes the situation even more bizarre. Former Tottenham Hotspur player Lucas Moura, who is under the guidance of Argentine boss Luis Zubeldia, is the only Premier League player to have played.
