Club friendlies during the summer transfer window play a crucial role in preseason preparations. They help players regain their fitness, sharpness, and match rhythm after a break or offseason. Friendlies allow teams to work on tactics, formations, and team cohesion before the competitive season begins.
Friendlies provide an opportunity for managers to assess their squad, see new players in action, and make informed decisions regarding their transfer activity ahead of the upcoming season.
July 2023 is going to be a flurry of club friendlies as leading European teams will aim to regain their fitness prior to the start of the 2023/24 season.
The most highly-anticipated league, the English Premier League, have revealed its intention to play in the PL Summer Series in the USA as part of the preparations for the upcoming campaign.
