The statement released by the Premier League reads “Premier League Shareholders have agreed on the dates for the Summer 2020 Transfer Window.

“The window will open for 10 weeks at the end of the current Premier League season, starting 27 July and ending 5 October.

“Following consultation with the EFL, a domestic-only window will be added from 5 October, closing 5pm on 16 October. During this window, Premier League clubs will only be able to trade with EFL clubs (either loans or permanent registrations). No transfers can take place between Premier League clubs in this period.

“The transfer window is subject to the approval of FIFA.”

This gives the Premier League clubs ten weeks to improve their squads for the next season. Arsenal and Tottenham are expected to sell before they buy as their finances have been hurt by the pandemic. While Chelsea have already strengthened their squad and are close to sealing Champions League qualification, Manchester City and Liverpool are planning to improve their squads to maintain their supremacy over the chasing pack.

Everton are also set to offer Carlo Ancelotti a substantial transfer kitty as they want to play in Europe within the next couple of seasons. Since Wolves and Sheffield United might be participating in the Europa League next season, both clubs would have to improve their squad depth to ensure their domestic form isn’t affected.
