European Leagues Review Transfer Window Timings

Leading European clubs initiate a discussion on shortening the summer transfer period to level the start conditions of seasons.

Representatives from several major European leagues have started discussing the reduction of the summer transfer period. The German association proposed that the window should close on August 15 instead of late August. This would allow the transfer campaign to conclude before the start of the major European leagues' seasons.

This decision would put all major continental clubs on an equal competitive footing. According to the source, the plan has already been supported by the "EPL", but the Brits are awaiting the participation of other leading leagues. The Bundesliga and "Serie A" have also backed the plan, while "La Liga" in Spain is against it, and there is no unified opinion in France yet.
