The closure of transfer market August 31st or September 1st could be history. The five major leagues could advance this date to August 15 thus preventing competition from starting and even their models are not closed. The measure has the approval of First League, who already did something similar years ago, but who might also have the approval of Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1 and the League.
In this way, the five major leagues They would agree to close the summer transfer market earlier than usual. A measure which makes perfect sense, since the competition is currently starting and the final destination of many players is still unknown.
According to English media time, the claim of Premier League would have been transferred to ECR (Association of European Clubs), which would have welcomed the possibility of implementing it in the leagues that are considering it, which would mean that practically all continental leagues would bring forward the closure of the market.
There would, however, be an obvious threat, since Saudi Arabia His transfer market would not be closed until August 15. This would mean that, in the event that, after this date, a Saudi Pro League team took over a player from European football, the injured team would not have the capacity to react and would have to wait until winter to be able to strengthen. himself.
The new measure could come into force next season. For the 2025-2026, The transfer market of the major European championships could close earlier, which would no longer see footballers playing for the first few days with one team then with another. Each team would begin the competition with their final team.
THE Premier League He had already had a similar experience several seasons ago, when he closed the market before launching the competition. However, they were clearly wronged and reverted to the current model. The rest of the leagues kept the market closing day on the usual dates, which allowed them to recruit Premier players, without the English being able to strengthen.
With the current proposal, which has already been transferred and studied by the CEA, according to time, The major leagues would advance that date, known as the deadline, to August 15. The Prime Minister has already shown his favorable position to accept this date, provided that the other leagues on the continent do so. This could become a reality very soon.
Without going any further, in the League This summer, many players registered for the competition which has already started. This is the case for the big recruits that have been made, with the exception of Mbappé for Real Madrid. Julian Alvarez, James Rodríguez either Dani Olmo, proper names of the summer, have been registered with their respective teams with the League already underway, as well as Lo Celsus with Bétis, Danjuma with Girona or Haller with Leganes.
