This summer’s transfer window will be open for 10 weeks for the Premier League and English Football League between 27 July and 5 October, subject to  approval from World football governing body, FIFA.

There would also be a domestic-only window (EPL & EFL) between 5-16 October.

"During this window, clubs will only be able to trade with EFL clubs (either loans or permanent registrations)," reads a Premier League statement.

"No transfers can take place between Premier League clubs in this period."

The EFL went on to state that any new signings by its clubs could not play until the start of the 2020-21 season.

"This is applicable to clubs involved in the Championship play-offs," it said.

"The window for international registrations closes at 23:00 BST on Monday, 5 October, with an agreement in place with the Premier League for an extended two-week domestic-only window, which will close at 17:00 on Friday, 16 October."

No new dates has been announced  for the start of the 2020-21 season.

Manchester City have  reached an agreement to sell German winger, Leroy Sane to Bundesliga champions, Bayern Munich for £54m.

Sane will join the German side for an initial fee of about £44.7m, while add-ons could rise by more than £10m.

The 24 year old who joined City in 2016 form Schalke 04 for around £37m is a two-time Premier League winner with the club.

 

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, last week said the German whose current deal was due to expire at the end of next season, had refused the offer of an extension and wanted out of the Etihad stadium.

The Manchester outfit were unwilling to match the £20m annual salary Sane was offered by Bayern.

Sane is expected to travel to Germany in the next 24 hours to have a medical and complete the transfer.

The winger leaves the Etihad having racked up 192 appearances and scoring 52 goals for City.
