Premier League clubs have agreed to open the transfer window early ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup, scheduled to take place between June and July 2025.
According to a statement by the Premier League on Thursday, the initial transfer window will last for a 10-day period in June.
The statement also confirmed that the transfer window will reopen on 16 June.
Part of the statement reads: “The window will open early, between Sunday, 1 June and Tuesday, 10 June, due to an exceptional registration period relating to the FIFA Club World Cup.
“It will then reopen on Monday, 16 June and close on Monday, 1 September.”
The decision follows FIFA’s ruling that member associations of participating clubs would have the option of opening an “exceptional registration window” in June before the tournament begins.
The 32-team Club World Cup in the United States will run from 14 June to 13 July.
