Bundesliga transfer window 2022 - updates

Filip Kostic (third from right) has completed a move to Juventus. The Serie A club have announced that the 29-year-old Serbian international has penned a deal through June 2026. Eintracht received €12 million ($12.34 million) for the left winger, who had been a mainstay of Frankfurt's attack since arriving at the club in 2018. Kostic had 33 goals and 64 assists in his 171 matches for the Eagles.

Timo Werner is back at RB Leipzig after an underwhelming two-years at Chelsea. The 26-year-old became Leipzig's record scorer in his first four-year stint at the club, netting 95 goals in 159 games. But he couldn't replicate that scoring rate at Chelsea. RB paid a reported €20 million for the Germany international, less than half what the Premier League club had paid for him two seasons ago.

After the news of Sebastien Haller's testicular tumor, Dortmund moved to snap up the French forward from Cologne. The 34-year-old arrives with years of Bundesliga experience. He's scored 70 goals in 145 games in two spells at Cologne and also played in Germany for Hoffenheim. Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl called him "a perfect fit for the football Edin Terzic wants to play at BVB."

Bayern Munich are looking to shore up a leaky defense by signing defender Matthijs de Ligt from Italian record champions Juventus. The 22-year-old Dutch international has agreed a contract through the end of the 2026-27 season. Juventus said they had received € 67 million ($68 million), which cold rise by as much as € 10.0 million based upon performance bonuses.

The want-away Poland international finally got his way after weeks of wrangling with the record German champions. Barcelona have said they paid Bayern Munich €45 million euros ($46 million) plus €5 million euros ($5.1 million) in variables for Robert Lewandowski, who scored 344 goals in 375 appearances for Bayern Munich. Lewandowski was voted The Best FIFA Men's Player in 2020 and 2021.

Sebastien Haller is the man Dortmund hope can fill the boots of Erling Haaland. The 28-year-old has signed a four-year contract at BVB, sealing his move from Dutch champions Ajax, for an initial transfer fee of €31 million ($31.5 million). Sadly, shortly after moving to BVB, Haller was found to have a testicular tumor. He has vowed to "come back stronger" after his recovery.

"The Premier League is my dream," said Taiwo Awoniyi back in February, and now that dream has come true. After 25 goals in 65 games over the last two seasons for Union Berlin, the Nigerian striker has completed a €20.5m move to newly promoted Premier League side Nottingham Forest, signing a five-year contract at The City Ground.

Two years after leaving Borussia Dortmund to join PSV Eindhoven, Germany's 2014 World Cup winning goalscorer is back in the Bundesliga with Eintracht Frankfurt. Mario Götze struggled to replicate his Maracana heroics in club football, failing to make an impact at either BVB or Bayern Munich. But after two years in the Netherlands (18 goals in 77 games for PSV), he's looking to answer his critics.

The signing of Liverpool's Senegalese star striker is a genuine coup for Bayern Munich – and also for the Bundesliga, a league so used to seeing top players head in the opposition direction to Premier League clubs. For €32m, potentially rising to €41m, the German champions have a player whose goals (120 in 269 appearances for Liverpool) could help replace the departed Robert Lewandowski.

After two-and-a-half years in Dortmund, the Norwegian goal machine is taking the inevitable step to the Premier League – to reigning champions Manchester city, where his father Alf Inge once played, for €75m. Having netted an scarcely believable 85 goals in 88 games for BVB, contributing substantially to the German Cup win in 2021, the Black & Yellows will have a job on their hands to replace him.

In 24-year-old Ajax rightback Mazraoui, Bayern head coach Julian Nagelsmann has ticked a key name off his summer shopping list. The Dutch-born Moroccan international was part of the Ajax team which won Eredivisie titles in 2019, 2021 and 2022, and is expected to replace Benjamin Pavard, who is likely to move inside from righback to central defense.

Mazraoui's Ajax teammate Ryan Gravenberch is also on the way to Munich, with the 20-year-old expected to strengthen Bayern's midfield after signing a five-year deal. "Ryan is a highly interesting, young player who many top European clubs would liked to have signed," commented Bayern CEO Oliver Kahn – but Gravenberch will have some serious competition for a place in the starting line-up.

Still only 19, Adam Hlozek already has four seasons with Sparta Prague under his belt, having become the club's youngest ever player when he made his debut on 10 November 2018, aged just 16 years, three months and 16 days. Since then, he's scored 40 goals in 105 games, plus 15 appearances for the Czech national team. Now he's set to link up with compatriot Patrik Schick at Bayer Leverkusen.

Already an established Bundesliga operator after three seasons with Wolfsburg, bullish Austrian midfielder Schlager has signed a four-year deal with RB Leipzig – against whom he suffered a knee ligament tear back in September, putting him out for most of the season. Having come through the ranks at Red Bull Salzburg, the 24-year-old should fit in at sister club Leipzig.

After suffering a muscle injury, the 30-year-old goalkeeper missed the end of the season and had to watch from the stands as his Hertha Berlin teammates battled to stay in the Bundesliga via a playoff. Now, after two years in the capital, the former Freiburg stopper could have another relegation battle on his hands with a loan move to newly repromoted Schalke, whose main aim can only be: stay up.

118 games in five years: not as much as Corentin Tolisso would have hoped at Bayern Munich. The France international was a Bundesliga record signing when he arrived from Olympique Lyon for €41.5m in 2017, but injuries have hindered his progress and prevented him from reaching the standard required in Munich. The 27-year-old's contract has not been renewed and he's returned to former club Lyon.
