A number of Premier League clubs are reportedly pushing for the summer transfer window to close later so it falls in line with the rest of Europe, despite teams voting for it to be closed before the start of the season just two years ago.
For the past two summers, the cut-off for signing new players for Premier League clubs has come before the season opener, a change that has put English clubs out of line with the rest of the major European leagues, who have a later deadline.
According to Martyn Ziegler of The Times, there has been some opposition to the change, and now Liverpool have joined a selection of teams willing to go back to the previous format.
