After the Champions League final, won by PSG against Inter, today opens the mini market for the teams involved in the Club World Cup.

To facilitate the teams involved in this competition, totally revolutionized by the new format, FIFA has decided to open this extraordinary 10-day window. This way, the clubs will be able to adjust their squads and manage contracts expiring on June 30 during the competition. Additionally, players can be replaced between June 27 and July 3.

Club World Cup, deadlines and loans: the rules

An important aspect to clarify is the management of players whose contracts are expiring and those on loan.

In the first case, if a player’s contract expires on June 30, the player must immediately leave the club, even in the middle of the tournament. There are no exceptions to continue until the end of the Club World Cup. The only solution for the involved club will be to renew the player’s contract for another year, postponing the expiration to 2026.

Slightly different is the situation with loans. In this specific case, everything is based on the willingness of the player’s parent club. If both clubs involved manage to agree, the player could remain on loan until the end of the competition.

Juventus and Inter’s transfer market

With these rules, how does the transfer market session of Juventus and Inter change? The Old Lady has several players on loan around Europe until June 30. Tudor will evaluate some of them to see if they can be brought to the Club World Cup. Currently, there is a feeling that Rugani and Kostic, returning from Ajax and Fenerbahçe, should be added to the group going to the United States.

For the Nerazzurri, it is already known that the contracts of Arnautovic and Correa, expiring on June 30, 2025, will not be renewed. Therefore, Simone Inzaghi will have them available for only part of the tournament. For this reason, he might keep Pio Esposito in the squad, who will return from loan at Spezia after the Serie B playoffs. The youngster could remain with Inter at least until the end of the tournament.

On the new arrivals front, Inter is pushing to finalize Luis Henrique from Marseille before the competition begins. Petar Sucic, a 2003 talent from Dinamo Zagreb who has been secured for some time, will also be added to the squad.

Club World Cup: where to watch it?
