When does the 2024 summer transfer window open? Big Premier League deals expected as Mbappé prepares to complete move to Real Madrid
The 2023/24 Premier League campaign is approaching its final phase and eyes are already on the summer transfer window.
He Winter 2024 transfer window was a bit of a failure as financial constraints limited most of first division clubs to do little business.
However, talks are underway between the league and its clubs to change the profit and sustainability rules (PSR).
If those changes are approved soon, we could see many top-tier clubs unleash their spending power, but some will still be limited even under this new system.
Large movements are still expected to occur across Europe, with Kylian Mbappé, Ivan Toney and Victor Osimhen Everyone is likely to find new clubs.
Mbappé's future is a little clearer than that of the others, with a move to Real Madrid almost done.
When does the summer transfer window open?
There is still no confirmed date from the Premier League regarding the summer transfer window.
Last year, trading was allowed starting June 14, two and a half weeks after the season ended.
But international agreements can only be confirmed from July 1.
Of course, this year there will also be two international tournaments, with Euro 2024 and America Cup 2024 will take place during the summer.
These will not affect the window dates, but many businesses will not begin until after the conclusion of these events.
The transfer window in Europe will end on the same day, September 1.
However, countries like Saudi Arabia and Turkey usually extend their trading period.
This can leave teams vulnerable to any late moves, although top-tier clubs could use the Saudi Pro League as a way to alleviate some of their financial problems.
Four Saudi clubs are now funded by the Public Investment Fund, while Al-Ettifaq has Steven Gerrard as your manager, so there are probably another group of top-notch players heading to the Middle East this summer.
Last year, Premier League clubs spent more than £2 billion, and more money will be spent this time too.
But it would be a surprise if we reached that figure again, given the financial situation many teams find themselves in.
