Premier League clubs will open the transfer window early for a 10-day period in June, before it officially reopens on June 16, to accommodate FIFA’s exceptional registration period for the Club World Cup.
Premier League clubs agreed to open the transfer window early for a 10-day period in June, ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup, before it reopens again on June 16, the league said on Thursday.
The decision comes after world soccer's governing body FIFA decided member associations of participating clubs would have the option of opening an "exceptional registration window" in June before the event begins to sign players.
"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," the Premier League said in a statement.
"It will then reopen on Monday 16 June and close on Monday 1 September."
The 32-team Club World Cup in the United States runs from June 14 to July 13, with Chelsea and Manchester City the two Premier League teams taking part this year.
