Krösche Advocates for Earlier Summer Transfer Deadline in European Football

Eintracht Frankfurt's sporting director calls for a unified approach among Europe's top leagues to prevent competitive imbalance.

Markus Krösche, Eintracht Frankfurt's sporting director, suggests an earlier summer transfer deadline to enhance fairness across leagues.
Krösche highlights the need for consensus among the top five European leagues: Italy, Spain, England, France, and Germany.
The proposed date of August 15 aligns with England's preference and precedes the start of major competitions like the DFB-Pokal.
Krösche cites the late transfer of Randal Kolo Muani as an example of the challenges posed by the current system.
The current Bundesliga transfer window closed on August 30, after the second matchday had already begun.
