Chelsea and Manchester City will benefit from an exceptional early summer transfer window to register new signings in time for FIFA’s expanded Club World Cup, featuring a $1 billion prize fund.
The Premier League has approved an exceptional early summer transfer window from 1–10 June to allow Chelsea and Manchester City to register players for the upcoming Club World Cup in Miami. This special window will accommodate the registration of Chelsea’s young signings Kendry Páez and Dário Essugo, ahead of the tournament which boasts a massive prize pool.
The early window was agreed by all Premier League clubs to ensure no side falls behind in the market to European or Saudi rivals. The standard 12-week window will resume on 16 June, following a brief pause. While Chelsea prepares to integrate Páez and potentially Essugo into their Club World Cup squad, Estêvão Willian will remain at Palmeiras due to previous agreement terms. Manchester City have yet to confirm any summer signings. Other updates include the introduction of semi-automated offside technology and a potential new sponsorship deal between the Premier League and Coca-Cola.
