Indeed, the World Football Federation has decided to pass the second, particularly on urgent files a few months before the start of the Club World Cup which will begin on next June 15 in Uncle Sam’s country: As revealed to us Football&FinanceFIFA has decided to open a new Mercato window for facilitate in particular the clubs which will participate in the new 32-team competitionthe first edition of which is planned for next summer.
Citation
“This window will be very short and will extend from June 1 to 10 for all clubswho will thus be able not only to conclude negotiations, but above all to submit contracts during this period. According to Marca, This is an initiative aimed at everyone.but which has particular value for the 32 clubs which will participate in the Club World Cup which will take place from June 15 to July 13 and in which Inter and Juventuswho qualified through the Ranking, will also play a leading role.”
The FIGC has not yet responded positively

“The last stage of this additional Mercato window consists of the accession of the National Federations whose clubs are linked to the competition: The decision of the FIGC is therefore awaited in the coming weeks, but without the green light from FederCalcio, Italian clubs will not be able to recruit new players during this period.”
FIFA, after months of doubts and indiscretions, is trying to put in place the various elements in preparation for the first edition of the Club World Cup which will take place every four years and with 32 teams so desired by Gianni Infantinowhich also hopes to resolve the question of sponsors and television rights, the two main sources of revenue, so important both for the supreme body of world football, and for the clubs.
The problem of players at the end of their contracts
There will be no no automatic extension of expiring contracts : “Clubs and players must find a solutionthe objective is to encourage clubs and players whose contracts expire at find an appropriate solution to facilitate player participation.”
Citation
“No This Thursday, October 3, 2024, the FIFA Council unanimously approved the Regulations for the 2025 Club World Cupwhich aims to resolve technical inconsistencies and compensate for differences between the registration periods and domestic season calendars of participating clubs wherever possible, while providing flexibility to the relevant FIFA member associations.”
“According to the regulations, FIFA member associations of clubs participating in the FIFA Club World Cup will have the opportunity to open an exceptional registration window from June 1 to 10, 2025 (for all their affiliated clubs) before the start of the competition. The decision whether or not to open an additional window remains at the sole discretion of each FIFA member association concerned.“
“After the deadline for submitting call-up lists expires, given that the contracts of some players will expire in the middle of the competition, participating clubs will be able to replace players during a restricted period of the competition, from June 27 to July 3, 2025within a predetermined limit and “subject to specific limitations, including that a “standard” registration window must be open for the club at that time“.
However, FIFA explains that “the aim is to encourage clubs and players whose contracts are expiring to find an appropriate solution to facilitate player participation.”
By this, it must be understood that the governing body of world football has not provided regulations adapted to this type of situationbut decided to leave the management of individual cases to clubs and players, as in the case of the transaction that brought Tiago Djalo from Juventus to Porto: “The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup will mark the start of a new era for World Club Football, with the best teams vying for the official title of FIFA Club World Champion,” said the President Infantino. “These regulations will guarantee the best possible conditions for the 32 participating clubs and the best players in the world to shine at the highest level.”
At least 50 players are at the end of their contract!
If we only consider the big qualified European namesno less than 52 players, including 11 in total for Inter and Juventusthe two Italian teams which will participate in the tournament are at the heart of this theme, Better still, because Joseph GuardiolaPep for short, has his contract which will expire on June 30!
