The said grace period would run from October 5 to 5pm on October 16 as FIFA allows summer transfer windows to run up to 12 weeks. That means two deadline days for the English Premier League teams.

During this grace period, its noted that no transfer business will go on between Premier League clubs or with other Foreign clubs. Just EFL clubs.
