Summer Transfer Window Recap – Serie A/Bundesliga/Ligue 1

Originally I was going to do Bundesliga and Serie A on their own. But seeing as a lot of us also have love for certain Ligue 1 players (I’m a bit in love with a bunch of PSG players) I decided I needed to add some French league love.

I’m only going to cover the major movers (and any interesting moves to or from La Liga) for these three because a lot of teams (Parma and Milan especially) offloaded a metric assload of players. So if I don’t put a team in, I apologize now.
