European clubs have begun completing deals for the players which they feel will improve them from the previous season.
While the like of Paul Pogba, Van Persie and Iker Casillas are yet to move clubs at the time of writing, others like Pirlo, Arda Turan and Podolski have moved clubs.
Here is a list of the biggest transfer officially confirmed with the bargaining clubs.
1. Arda Turan: The most recent transfer yet on the list. Atletico hero and Turkish international, Arda Turan moved from Madrid based side Atletico Madrid to Barcelona for €41m.
According to Goal, Arda is not eligible to represent his new club until January as Barca are currently serving a year-long transfer ban related to the movement of players under the age of 18.
2. Andrea Pirlo: Italian legend, Andrea Pirlo will have one last hurray in the game after he signed as the third designated player for New York city FC.
3. Petr Cech: Chelsea legend, Petr Cech moves to the Arsenal for a fee close to $15m and he will surely strengthen a part of the gunners squad which has been weak since the years of Jens Lehmann.
4. James Milner: Milner was a free agent when he
agreed to leave Manchester City for Liverpool. He says Brandon Rodgers
will play him centrally and his signing has all the hallmarks of a
genius.
5. Yohann Cabaye: The french midfielder returns to England after a year and a half stint with PSG in which he saw little game time. He reunites with Alan Pardew the man that first brought him to England when he signed for Newcaste in 2011.
6. Lukas Podolski: Former Arsenal and Bayern Munich hitman Podolski moves to Galatasary after an ill-fated six month loan spell with Inter Milan of Italy. He joins Wesley Sniedjer and Felipe Melo in a really talented squad.
7. Radamel Falcao: The signing that shocked even this writer. Its official Radamel Falcao will join Chelsea for a year long loan spell from Monaco of France.
After his disastrous spell with Manchester United one would think the elite clubs of this world wouuld run from signing he Colombian but Jose Mourinho says he can revive Falcao’s career. Is it possible?
8. Douglas Costa: Douglas completed a £21million switch to Bundesliga champions, Bayern Munich from Ukraine outfit Shakhtar Donetsk last week.
He can play in at least four positions and his signing relief Arjen Robben and Frank Ribery who are now well over 30.
9. Luis Nani: Back in 2007 when Luis Nani first
arrived Mancheser United as a fresh faced 20 year old, he looked set to
dominate the game with his technical and physical attributes but
somewhere along the line he lost it.
He arrived for $25m from Sporting Lisbon but now leaves a 28 years who never filled his potential for $4.2m off to Fenerbahce of Turkey.
10. Memphis Depay: The earliest of big signings.
Dutch league top goal scorer, Memphis Depay arrives Manchester United
with a lot of potential and will hope to reach the top of the game
unlike Nani who almost made it but derailed.
He signs for £25million from PSV of the Netherlands.
Misses
Ronaldinho: Though he has not officially signed, the camp representing Ronaldinho and Turkish club Antalysor have both said a deal has been agreed to sign the two time world footballer of the year.
