US EditionAnother Championship Club Hits Big Trouble as Derby Rivals Punished by EFL
KINGSTON UPON HULL, ENGLAND, JUL 3 – The English Football League sanctioned Hull City with a three-window transfer embargo for failing to pay a £1 million loan fee to Aston Villa for striker Louie Barry.
- The EFL has imposed a transfer embargo on Hull City starting July 4, 2025, which prohibits the club from paying any player fees until the January 2027 transfer window.
- The embargo results from Hull's late payment of a £1 million loan fee to Aston Villa last season for winger Louie Barry, causing EFL concern over the club's finances.
- Hull can still sign free agents but cannot pay signing-on or one-off fees, significantly restricting their transfer activities amid reported debts to other creditors.
- Owner Acun Ilicali assured supporters that the club has no debts to others, emphasizing that he personally finances the team and that they have a strong lineup of players.
- The embargo casts uncertainty on Hull's squad building and hopes of signing players this summer, though the club is confident it can successfully appeal to reduce the sanctions.
