Leicester City boss Claude Puel's concerns over the new transfer deadline and Riyad Mahrez

City boss fears new early deadline for recruiting leaves clubs vulnerable to star players being targetted.

Leicester City manager Claude Puel says the change to the transfer deadline is wrong because it will leave the club vulnerable to late bids for key players.

Puel fears the earlier deadline of August 9 for recruiting players will leave Premier League clubs powerless to later bids for their own players.

Premier League clubs cannot sign players after the August 9 deadline, but they can still sell to continental clubs until August 31 as the change only applies to the Premier League.

City had to fend off a very late bid from Manchester City for Riyad Mahrez, who was missing from City for ten days, in the January transfer window and Puel believes the new ruling will further add to players being unsettled.

“I think it’s not a good thing,” he said.

“Of course all the managers, trainers want to start the season with the transfer window stopping but other counties can continue to buy players.

 

“For the stability and for consistency and also some players can be disturbed by this.

“It’s without the possibility to continue until September.”

January was a difficult time for Puel as the upheaval surrounding Mahrez affected his team’s form and Puel fears the new ruling could cause further unrest.

Of course, it’s always difficult to manage the transfer window,” he added.

“It was difficult he winter window for different things, the summer window it will be all the problems because some clubs will want players at the end of the market.

“It was the same thing in the winter with Riyad, it was just two days before the end of the transfer window.

“It was difficult to manage with perhaps a player who is angry, we cannot appreciate this situation.

 

"Riyad is in contract and we will see what will happen in the summer. After that we will decide together with the owner, with the player and the situation.

"We have a lot of discussions before the end of the season. For the moment I cannot say any other thing.

"We have some players in contract, others at the end. We will see after the last game."
