Everything about Premier League summer transfer window of 2020-21

Let’s start by answering some questions.

What is the transfer window?

There is no doubt that the players do no play their whole professional life, only for one club, unless they want to do so! Many players get transferred over and over again till they get retired and they use the transfer windows to move to their new clubs.

A transfer window is a period during the year in which a football club can transfer players from other clubs to theirs.

The history of the transfer window

There were no signs of a transfer window before the 1990s.

Before being brought into compulsory effect by FIFA during the 2002–03 season, something like today’s transfer window was used in many European leagues.

In fact, to improve teams' stability and to prevent agents from searching for deals all year round, English football was initially suggested such a plan in the early 1990s.

But it took years for the proposal to become compulsory. These days there is a rule for the transfer window, though the exact regulations and possible exceptions are established by each competition's governing body.

The usual time of the transfer window!

Usually the

Premier League summer transfer window

opens on 11 June and has to be over on the Thursday before the start of the season, though in other leagues it finishes 2 weeks after the beginning of the new season.

Time of the 2020-21 EPL summer transfer window

Due to the extension of the 2019/20 Premier League season because of the coronavirus outbreak, the time of

the Premier League summer transfer window of 2020-21

has been shifted this season, for clubs to buy and sell their chosen players, from 27 July to 5 October, with 10 weeks of duration.

The time was chosen due to the Premier League clubs' vote. It also has to be mentioned that the additional domestic window between Premier League and EFL runs from October 5-16.

Now that we know about the
