The EFL has confirmed the dates of the summer transfer window, as Leicester City prepare for a return to the Championship.
The Foxes will be back in the EFL from the start of next season after their return to the Premier League - as champions - lasted only one season.
And club chiefs at the King Power Stadium now know when they will be able to complete their transfer business.
There is likely to be a big turnover of players in the wake of City’s relegation from the top flight and Leicester already know they will have to fill the void left by Jamie Vardy’s impending departure.
The EFL has confirmed there will be two transfer windows this summer.
The summer transfer window will open for the first time on June 1 and close on June 10 - at 7pm - to match the Premier League’s mini window before the FIFA Club World Cup.
Clubs competing in the Club World Cup, which kicks off in the United States on June 14, will be able to use the first window to sign players ahead of that tournament.
The EFL said in a statement on Wednesday: “Due to an additional FIFA Club World Cup Registration Period introduced ahead of the start of the FIFA Club World Cup, the EFL and its Clubs have agreed that the summer transfer window shall operate for an additional ten-day period from Sunday 1 June 2025 to 19:00 on Tuesday 10 June 2025. This is due to the transfer window being unable to exceed a total of 89 days.
“The FIFA regulation on this matter permits the member associations of Clubs playing in the FIFA Club World Cup to establish this exceptional registration period, and there is therefore likely to be considerable transfer activity taking place across the world’s major leagues during this time.
“The EFL therefore believes that its Clubs should also have the opportunity to be active in the market at this time.”
The summer transfer window will then reopen on June 16 and close on September 1, once again at 7pm.
