Nigeria, June 11 -- The summer transfer window across Europe will close today after 10 days of activity. However, the transfer window will be in two phases due to the FIFA Club World Cup.

FIFA had earlier allowed teams to begin buying players from June 1, ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup, which will commence on June 15. The first phase of the transfer window is expected to close on June 10. The regular transfer window will open on June 16 and close on September 1, 2025.

This development from FIFA is intended to allow the competing sides to register players in advance of the competition. However, to ensure no team gains an unfair advantage, all clubs were permitted to make transfers starting Sunday, June 1.

You might wonder why the window...
