Now, ‘The Times’ reveal that a historic deal between the five major championships is being studied to prevent that from happening: Premier League, LaLiga, Series A, Ligue 1 and Bundesliga They agreed to close the summer window on the same day.
The idea is, facing the next market, to close all of them on August 15. What is worrying is that the biggest threat, the multi-billion dollar Saudi football, is not governed by the same rules and, if it does not join agreement, there will continue to be a clear risk of unwanted transfers no matter how large the others. agreed. As a result, in the Middle East they see this as an opportunity.
In 2018, the European and world markets are still open, and if a player leaves after the transfer deadline (Leonardo Ulloa, Joel Campbell, Nacer Chadli, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting…), the selling club will not get a substitute. And ‘The Times’ fears the same will happen to the Saudis, who have been with Mo Salah for years, for example.
