Manchester City and Chelsea could sign players in time to play in the Club World Cup in June
The Premier League clubs decided against shutting the transfer window early for fear of losing out to Europe and Saudi Arabia in the market

Overview

  • The Premier League has officially announced a two-part summer transfer window for 2025, with an early window from June 1 to June 10 and the regular window reopening on June 16 until September 1.
  • This adjustment accommodates FIFA's expanded Club World Cup, which begins on June 14 in the United States and features Chelsea and Manchester City from the Premier League.
  • The early window allows all clubs to register players or offload assets to meet Profitability and Sustainability Rules ahead of the June 30 accounting deadline.
  • The decision, unanimously agreed upon by all 20 Premier League clubs, ensures alignment with other European leagues by keeping the regular window open until September 1.
  • FIFA's regulations limiting annual transfer periods to 16 weeks necessitated the split window, providing flexibility for clubs participating in the global competition.
