Stupid Transfer Question - Jets Insider.com Forums

The transfer window officially opens on July 1st but teams can "pre-agree" to deals now that become "official" when the window really opens.

Wouldn't just make more sense to open the window in June since deals happen anyway? Is there a reason why they do it this way?

I'd guess it's to avoid tampering and psychological warfare (ex:Barca making a ridiculous offer to Ronaldo before the CL Final)
