Deadline Day 2: What deals can be done in the domestic transfer window and when does it close?
Written by News on 16/10/2020
Premier League and EFL clubs have a second chance to do business – here’s all you need to know about ‘Deadline Day 2’.
The international deadline – where English clubs could buy, sell and loan players from abroad – closed on October 5, but an domestic agreement between Premier League and EFL teams means players can still be transferred in England.
How does the domestic transfer window work?
Following consultation between the leagues – and because FIFA allows a summer transfer window to run for up to 12 weeks – Premier League clubs can still do business with EFL sides for a further 11 days after the first deadline.
Clbs can buy – whether making loan or permanent signings – and sell, but there cannot be transfers between Premier League teams.
All EFL clubs can still do domestic business with any English team up until ‘Deadline Day 2’.
When does the second transfer window close?
The domestic transfer window closes at 5pm on Friday, October 16.
