Premier League clubs agree to extend summer transfer window for 10 additional days | OneFootball

The Premier League has agreed to an extension of the summer transfer window.

Manchester United were busy last summer adding Joshua Zirkzee, Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, Noussair Mazraoui and Manuel Ugarte to the first team squad.

Despite a likely reduced budget, unless they qualify for the Champions League by winning the Europa League, there is still expected to be a busy summer of incomings and outgoings at Old Trafford.

After months of negative headlines, Ineos will be hoping to win back some fans with a positive transfer window.

In addition, Ruben Amorim will be desperate to add to January signings Ayden Heaven and Patrick Dorgu to construct a squad that can play the energetic 3-4-3 formation that he is so desperate to see bear fruit at United.

The club’s official website has confirmed that the Red Devils, alongside the 19 other Premier League clubs, will have an additional 10 days to do any business this year.

“The Premier League clubs have agreed to an extraordinary transfer window during the summer. The advent of the FIFA Club World Cup, which includes Chelsea and Manchester City, has led to an additional 10 days of business being allowed for all Premier League teams.”

Whilst historically business can occur before, it is not made official until the middle of June or the start of July but this will be different this year to allow the two Club World Cup teams to register players before the tournament begins.

“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.”

Fans will be delighted as it will give United a lot of time to sell and buy the numerous players they wish to in their aim to propel themselves up the Premier League table next season.

The clubs had discussed closing the window before the league season starts, as was the case in 2018 and 2019, but the idea was eventually abandoned.
