[Leeds United](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/) are back in the Premier League - after two years away - and Daniel Farke has the incredible task of avoiding what the six previous teams to be promoted have done.
After Luton Town, Burnley and Sheffield United were relegated in 2024, Leicester City, Southampton and Ipswich Town all came straight back down after difficult seasons this time around.
Leeds will back themselves to cement their spot in the Premier League, and to do that improvements will have to be made to improve the playing squad. [A number of players have been linked with a move to Elland Road, and the Whites will be able to officially start their business soon.](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/jack-rudoni-warned-leeds-united-31760715)
Here, LeedsLive explains all:
### When does the transfer window open and close?
This summer, the transfer window will open tomorrow and close on Tuesday, June 10 at 7pm in the United Kingdom. It will then reopen on Monday, June 16 and run until Monday, September 1 at 7pm - earlier than the usual 11pm end.
### Why does it close early only then to reopen again?
The reason for the change is down to this summer's Club World Cup. FIFA approved a proposal at the end of 2024 to give the participating teams an additional window to sign players for the tournament.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has switched to Real Madrid from Liverpool for £10million - despite his contract at Anfield expiring in June. The Spanish giants have paid a fee to bring the right-back in for the tournament.
The six-day closure (between June 10 and June 16) comes owing to the wording in the Premier League rulebook. Page 267 of their 2024/2025 handbook states that the summer transfer window has to open "at midnight on the date 12 weeks prior to the date on which it is to conclude."
