Now the summer 2023 transfer window is closed in Europe, Shailash and David look at the activity of some of clubs across Europe. There is a tendency to focus on specific transfers but there is significant planning in the months and maybe years before a window arrives. We expand on previous episodes where we talked about Sporting Director egos, builder and burners looking at Napoli, Monaco, Bayer Leverkusen and a host of other clubs across the top leagues. We end with a word on how the Saudi window closing late could impact teams and directors
 
Sporting Directors' Corner aims to look at football in the context of Sporting Directors, to delve deeper into this multi-faceted role and its impact within football across the globe. Keep an eye out for the next episode and let us know any feedback you have in the comments.
