All eyes might well be on the start of the World Cup and international football, but clubs around Europe are still working hard to bring in the right players when the new season ticks around in about two months' time.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest rumours from the Bundesliga and any deals that have been sorted very swiftly already.
Augsburg
Augsburg did some early transfer window business, but things have slightly dried up in recent days. They wasted no time in bringing in Markus Feulner from relegated Nuremberg at the end of May, and a few days after their on-loan forward Arkadiusz Milik would be switching Germany for the Netherlands to join Ajax for a season.
Midfielder Kevin Vogt left the club for newly-promoted FC Koln, and the latest talk of a departure from the 2013-14 surprise package is attacking full-back Matthias Ostrzolek, who is attracting the attention of Hamburger SV.
Bayer Leverkusen
Milik, who spent last season on loan at Augsburg, has agreed to join Ajax for 2014-15 again on loan. The biggest departure for them so far, however, has been the sale of versatile attacking midfielder Emre Can to Premier League side Liverpool for around £10m. Giulio Donati could be next on the out list, with Fiorentina showing interest in the defender.
In terms of players coming in, there is nothing concrete as yet, but Leverkusen have been credited with an interest in Real Madrid centre-back Nacho.

Bayern Munich
So far this summer there is more talk of players leaving Bayern than arriving. Bastian Schweinsteiger is being lined up for a move to Manchester United, as he seemingly does not fit in with Pep Guardiola's plans. Striker Mario Mandzukic, after the arrival of Robert Lewandowski, has been linked with Arsenal and Chelsea in the Premier League.
The future of Toni Kroos remains up in the air, but key duo Thomas Muller and Philipp Lahm have both penned two-year deals to remain at the club for the foreseeable future. Will they soon be joined by Ezequiel Garay, who has reportedly been close to arriving for a fortnight now?
Borussia Dortmund
The 2013-14 runners-up moved swiftly to replace Lewandowski, who left the club for Bayern at the end of the season. His replacement is Ciro Immobile from Torino on a five-year deal. He joins Adrian Ramos, who arrived from Hertha Berlin, in a revamped Dortmund front line.
Another transfer in the works, but not yet completed, is Matthias Ginter from Freiburg. The player is said to be hoping that the deal can be pushed through in the coming weeks. On the out front, it is not yet clear whether Marco Reus's ankle injury for Germany, which will keep him out for three months, will affect a potential move to Barcelona.

Borussia Monchengladbach
After an excellent season in the Bundesliga, Gladbach lost one of their most influential players in Juan Arango, who left to join Club Tijuana in Mexico. They will also have to make do without young starlet goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who made a move to Barcelona official.
On the players out front, there has been talk of Inter Milan interest in Granit Xhaka, as well as Newcastle United considering a permanent move for Luuk de Jong, who they had on loan last season. There have been no developments on either rumour in the past couple of days, however.
Eintracht Frankfurt
After Nuremberg's relegation from the Bundesliga, Frankfurt wasted little time raiding them for one of their old players, Timothy Chandler, who arrived at the start of June. Not before, however, another Nuremberg player switched to Frankfurt, with Japan captain Makoto Hasebe also landing on his feet.
Frankfurt had already sold Sebastian Jung to Wolfsburg and Pirmin Schwegler to Hoffenheim, so the two were replaced quickly. The latest talk is that Frankfurt are keen on Wolfsburg attacking midfielder Daniel Caligiuri.

FC Koln
Newly-promoted FC Koln have been very busy as they prepare for their return to the Bundesliga, with their first piece of business getting Kazuki Nagasawa to sign a two-year extension. They then brought in Kevin Vogt from Augsburg before June had even arrived.
Yuya Osako from 1860 Munich and Simon Zoller from Kaiserslautern have both arrived in the past week as Koln continue to strengthen. They also added Tomas Kalas on loan from Chelsea two days ago.
Freiburg
All of Freiburg's business so far happened not long after the end of last season. Goalkeeper Oliver Baumann left for Hoffenheim and was replaced by Roman Burki, before a permanent deal was agreed for forward Admir Mehmedi. Finally, another goalkeeper was added as Sebastian Mielitz joined from Werder Bremen.
A move away from Freiburg for Ginter has been heavily speculated upon, but Dortmund appear to be leading the chase from Manchester United and Arsenal.

Hamburger SV
Straight after the club's narrow escape from relegation, they confirmed that Tomas Rincon would not be offered a new deal and a few days later they completed the signing of Hungarian winger Zoltan Stieber.
Speculation has been rife about a lot of potential departures this summer. Rafael van der Vaart looks to have opted to turn down Queens Park Rangers in order to stay, while talk over the future of starlet Hakan Calhanoglu has been present all summer - Chelsea have been strongly tipped with a move for the player.
Hannover
The long-discussed future of striker Mame Biram Diouf finally came to an end two days ago as the former Manchester United and Blackburn Rovers player agreed terms on a deal to join Stoke City. Earlier in the summer, Leon Andreasen extended his deal for a further season.
Despite reported interest from Real Madrid, Hannover completed the signing of Joselu from Hoffenheim, having spent last season on loan at Frankfurt.

Hertha Berlin
The biggest transfer news for Hertha this summer has been the loss of Adrian Ramos, who will join Dortmund. Other than that, however, they have been very busy strengthening their squad for the second consecutive season in the top flight.
Switzerland forward Valentin Stocker, left-back Marvin Plattenhardt from relegated Nurember, and Genki Haraguchi have all joined the club so far, while John Anthony Brooks has been linked with a move away to the Premier League - Aston Villa are thought to be keen.
Schalke 04
Schalke bolstered their squad right at the end of last season, agreeing a deal to bring in Fortuna Dusseldorf goalkeeper Fabian Giefer.
Talk of a move away for Julian Draxler has somewhat died down, with Max Meyer instead finding himself the subject of interest from the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea in the Premier League. They are looking to make moves themselves, however, with Andre Ayew a possibility to come in.

Stuttgart
Stuttgart are another club to have raided relegated Nuremberg for their Bundesliga-quality players. Attacking midfielder Adam Hlousek swapped Nuremberg for Stuttgart at the start of June and he was very quickly followed by striker Daniel Ginczek just four days later.
One of their young starlets Timo Werner has reportedly piqued the interest of giants Bayern, but he is highly rated so the club are keen to keep hold of him.
Werder Bremen
The big departure from Werder this summer was Aaron Hunt, who switched to the slightly paler green of Wolfsburg after a career at Bremen. Goalkeeper Mielitz also departed the club to join Freiburg.
