The Premier League clubs will discuss returning to the closing of the summer signing window of this year on August 14, two days before the start of the 2025-2026 season, when they meet Thursday, a measure that was previously introduced in past years and then abandoned itself.
It is advanced by the ‘Telegraph’, which would require a supermay of 14 teams to approve, although there are discussions at the meeting as soon as you start, you could postpone. The idea was formulated in early February at a meeting of sports directors of the 20 clubs, who feel it would be better for coaches to have their workforce ready before the season begins.
At present, as is the case in the rest of European leagues with an open market until the beginning of September, players can arrive and leave after the season has begun, and that without even more broad markets such as Saudi Arabia, the other powerful next to the English, which constantly tempts players from many leagues, which has made them try to match the dates and many English clubs do not want to have less time to negotiate, as it has already happened in 2018 and 2019 when it returned to this system.
And not only for summer, it could also be voted that the January window was reduced to two weeks instead of the current month, which lengthens until February, but again the Saudi clubs spent 125 million in the last window of January and speak openly of continuing to continue to bid against the Premier League clubs for the best players. However, right in that window Guardiola City took the opportunity to sign three players for more than 200 million.
