[Premier League clubs have officially agreed on the dates for the 2025 summer transfer window](https://www.premierleague.com/news/4272739). They adjusted the calendar to accommodate the revamped and expanded FIFA Club World Cup.
Chelsea and Manchester City are the English representatives at the tournament. [They are set to earn mouth-watering sums for participating and advancing](https://footballtoday.com/2025/03/05/fifa-to-announce-1-billion-prize-money-for-2025-club-world-cup/).
The transfer window will open early for a brief period between Sunday, June 1 and Tuesday, June 10. This registration period will allow player movements for only clubs participating in the FIFA Club World Cup, which is set to take place in the summer of 2025 (between June 14 and July 13).
After this first window, the market will reopen on Monday, June 16, allowing clubs to conduct their usual transfer business. The window will close on Monday, September 1 (like other major European leagues) to maintain consistency.
The Premier League outfits believe this split will help clubs strengthen their squads in a structured manner while addressing the logistical challenges of the much-derided FIFA tournament.
The early registration period gives Chelsea and Man City flexibility. They can finalise new signings and register them for the tournament alongside the others already on their roster.
The adjusted transfer schedule aims to minimise disruptions for Chelsea and Manchester City, giving them ample time to secure new talent.
However, the decision to split the windows is as ponderous as they come. It is not practical. They could have allowed a longer window to give everyone fair ground to sign players.
Also, the first window is nine days, and most transfer deals would be difficult to get across the line in that short amount of time. The Premier League has complicated what was already a complex situation.
Fans and club officials will watch closely to see if this chaotic and flawed structure causes more harm than good as teams prepare for the 2025/26 season.
