Premier League clubs vote for longer summer transfer window

Premier League clubs voted on Thursday to push the closing date of the summer transfer window back to bring it into line with the rest of Europe.

At Thursday’s shareholders’ meeting, the clubs decided to revert to the traditional date at the end of August or early September after two seasons when the window closed on the eve of the campaign.

“The 2020 closing date will, therefore, be 17:00 BST on 1 September. Clubs agreed after discussing the topic at length at previous shareholders’ meetings.” When that did not happen a number of English clubs found themselves in the unwanted position of having their players linked with European teams, even though they would be unable to bring in replacements for anyone they sold after the Premier League window closed.Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was among those to call for the Premier League to align itself with the other top leagues in Europe.
