When the smoke has settled over the match arenas around the biggest European leagues after the end of the season, the window opens for a new match in the negotiation rooms. The transfer window usually opens in mid-June, but with the new Club World Cup, FIFA has asked for a temporary open market before the tournament to allow clubs to strengthen their squad before kick-off. The Premier League now confirms they have listened to FIFA.
In a press release on Thursday, the Premier League confirms the transfer window will be open between Sunday, June 1 and Tuesday, June 10. All clubs, including those that are not in the World Cup, will have the opportunity to act.

Then the market reopens on June 16 and stays open until Monday, September 1.
In practice, a club like Real Madrid can pay some amount to buy Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool, a few weeks before he walks out as a free agent after June 30, and then use the Liverpool star in this summer’s tournament.
We already suspect that this transfer window is going to be chaotic. Urgent purchases during the first week of June, so guaranteed injuries to key players during the World Cup that need to be covered for in the latter part of the transfer window.
