Man City Make Innovative Summer Transfer Deadline Proposal at Premier League Meeting

Manchester City are believed to have proposed a new ‘best of both’ approach to resolving the issue of the early Premier League summer transfer deadline that would still allow English sides to purchase players from overseas clubs until the end of August.

Since last summer, the window for Premier League clubs has shut the day before the start of the season, but the early closure has already been criticised and some clubs are rallying against it.

Earlier this month, it was reported that Liverpool had joined Manchester United and Manchester City in supporting a change to re-extend the summer transfer window.
