The LaLiga EA Sports market could undergo important changes in the summer of 2025. The top Spanish football competition would be willing to advance the closing date of the summer window by two weeks, from August 30 to 15, just before the start of the season. first day of the 2025/26 season. This would allow each club to start the season without the risk of losing players.

According to 'The Times', the initiative formulated by the Premier League would have the support of both LaLiga and the Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1, with the aim of unifying the market of the major European leagues. The 20 teams in the English First Division are willing to implement the initiative from next year, with which the clubs will have to move in the market from June 1 to reinforce their squads.

The Arab market will continue to be the great threat of the European elite

However, the proposal of the English league does not have, at the moment, a positive reception from the new giant that threatens the financial power of Europe's greats: the Saudi league. In Arabia, the summer market closes on September 2, a date that would give the clubs of that country much more advantage to 'steal' some European 'crack' with the markets of England, Spain, Germany, Italy and France already closed .

According to 'The Times', the Premier and the other four major European leagues will discuss the proposal with the European Club Association (ECA) in the coming months. The entity welcomes the measure to contribute to the financial 'Fair Play' and it is not ruled out to establish a new rule that applies throughout UEFA, although it is unlikely that this will happen before the start of 2025/26. In LaLiga, however, the new market closure could apply from 2025, as long as the First Division clubs support the measure. This year, the market closed a day earlier than usual, at 11:59 p.m. on Friday, August 31.
