​UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin has supported the Premier League's argument to shut down the summer transfer window before the beginning of the domestic season in August. Premier League managers will indeed be voting this week in order to arrive at a decision of closing the window earlier than the standard dates provided by FIFA.





In an email to ​The Times, Ceferin agreed that he himself is in support of the transfer window shutting down early. He wrote, "I am aware there are serious discussions around Europe regarding the shortening of the summer transfer window and we are following them closely."





He continued by stating, "In my view, it is not good when footballers play for one club when the league starts and another club when the transfer window closes. There is a lot of uncertainty for a long time. Therefore I would say that the window might be too long and I would support it being shorter.''

For any kind of solution on a proposed matter, there must be a total of 14 votes from those in support of the decision which will in turn force the Football League to inculcate the proposed changes from the next season onwards.





The League's chief executive Shaun Harvey said, "The one thing our member clubs have said is they do want stability in terms of the players that are available to them from the start of the season."





He concluded by stating, "Shutting the transfer window before the season starts has always found favour with our clubs. It would make sense for the dates to be aligned with the Premier League and any unintended consequences need to be thought through. This will be on the agenda for our club meeting on Sept. 21.''





Although this comes as a welcome news for all managers who intend to discard the unpredictability of the transfer market, it remains to be seen how this new regulation is put into action.
