A groundbreaking proposal has been put forward by the Italian Football League (Lega Serie A) to the Italian Football Federation (FIGC). The league is aiming to expedite the opening of the transfer window for the 2025/2026 season, a move specifically designed to support Inter Milan and Juventus.
Why the Early Window?
Both Italian giants are set to participate in the FIFA Club World Cup, scheduled to take place in the United States from June 15 to July 13, 2025. By opening the transfer window a month earlier, from June 1 to 10, 2025, these clubs would have the opportunity to reinforce their squads with new signings and prepare adequately for the prestigious tournament.
A Bold Move with Potential Implications
While this proposal is primarily focused on benefiting Inter and Juve, it could have broader implications for the entire Serie A. An earlier transfer window might disrupt the usual offseason plans of other clubs and could potentially impact player negotiations and squad building strategies.
The FIGC will now assess the feasibility and potential impact of this proposal. If approved, it would mark a significant departure from the traditional transfer window calendar and could set a precedent for future seasons.
