Start of the summer transfer window in Cyprus

As of June 1, 2026, the football transfer market in Cyprus has officially entered its most active phase. Numerous player contracts expired on May 31, granting many athletes free agent status and the ability to negotiate with new teams without restrictions. Clubs are now expected to accelerate formal discussions that have been in progress for weeks. Official announcements regarding new signings are anticipated in the coming days as the competitive landscape shifts. Professional teams can now finalize deals that were previously hindered by active contractual obligations. The market activity is expected to remain high throughout the summer period as clubs seek to finalize their rosters for upcoming competitions. This transition affects a wide range of Cypriot teams, including AEK, AEL, APOEL, and Omonia, among others.
