Premier League clubs will discuss moving the date of the summer transfer window to before the season starts.
Last summer’s market was open from June 14 until August 30, with the latter date coming two weeks after the season started.
All 20 clubs will discuss the idea of closing the window on August 14 instead in a meeting on Thursday.
This would come two days before the start of the 2025/26 season.
talkSPORT understands there will be push-back from Premier League clubs with the German and Italian leagues expected to stay with a September 1 transfer deadline.
The Saudi Arabia transfer market is also eyed as a threat this summer.
A vote is set to decide the outcome of the proposal, with a super-majority of 14 clubs needed for it to pass.
However, if there is an early sense that there will be little support for the change, then a vote may not even take place.
Premier League sides are set to meet with the idea mapped out last month amongst the 20 clubs’ sporting directors.
FIFA rules state that transfer windows must last for a maximum of 89 days.
The 2018 summer window opened on May 17 and closed on August 9, with the following season spanning from May 16 to August 8.
However, Premier League clubs returned to the more familiar system in 2020, when the market closed on October 5 amid the disruption of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Around £2billion was spent on new signings by top flight clubs last summer, a decrease from the near-£2.4billion in 2023.
Chelsea were the biggest spenders with circa £220million ahead of Manchester United’s approximate £206million and Brighton, who hit £192million.
Amid the gradual rise in transfer fees, Premier League sides look set to collectively spend close to £2billion once again this summer.
However, they could also generate income with big-money sales, with the Saudi Pro League likely to eye top talents once again.
