Currently, the summer transfer window in top leagues closes on September 1. However, the English Premier League intends to go its own way.
Details: According to talkSPORT, Premier League clubs plan to discuss the idea of closing the summer transfer window on August 14, two days before the season starts. Meanwhile, in Serie A and the Bundesliga, the date will remain the same.
However, there is no certainty that the date will indeed be moved. To make the change, at least 14 out of 20 clubs need to agree. If there is a sense that this initiative will not gain support, it will not even be put to a general vote.
Reminder: Similar issues, but in winter, were faced by the Saudi league, where the transfer window closed three days earlier than in the top leagues.
