PREMIER LEAGUE CLUBS TO AGREE ON HARMONIZING TRANSFER WINDOW DEADLINE
Furthermore, expect Premier League clubs to agree on harmonizing next year’s transfer window deadline.
Moreover, the move was intended to avoid the confusion caused by the late-summer transfer market, which disrupted clubs’ preparations for the new season.
Members of the European Club Association (ECA) back the planned major change.
Under the proposed change, the uniform transfer deadline would close on August 15 next year.
This was agreed upon by ECA executives from England, Spain, Germany, Italy, and France.
CLUBS CAN’T BUY, SELL PLAYERS ONCE FOOTBALL SEASON UNDERWAY UNDER NEW PROPOSAL
Moreover, clubs cannot buy or sell players once the football season is underway under the new proposal.
Furthermore, the report, which Yahoo! Sports quoted as saying, would stop player movement across Europe’s top leagues before any official matches are played.
Dutch businessman and football supporter Chris Woerts was supportive of the change.
“Next year, the transfer window must close on August 15, before the leagues kick-off,” Woerts said.
“Everyone is getting frustrated and annoyed by the fact that players are still being sold for weeks while the competitions have started,” he added.
NEW PROPOSAL HOPES REST OF EUROPE TO FOLLOW PREMIER LEAGUE’S LEAD
Furthermore, the new proposal hopes that the rest of Europe’s top football leagues will follow the Premier League’s lead.
Moreover, Woerts assured that many clubs are committed to getting the change implemented as soon as possible.
“The clubs are working hard to get the decision made,” the Dutch businessman said.
“Next year, the transfer window must close on August 15,” he added.
It remains to be seen whether Barcelona, Real Madrid, or other La Liga clubs will follow in the footsteps of their Premier League counterparts.
