Latest Coventry City news from CoventryLive includes the start and end dates for the summer transfer window

Coventry City’s recruitment plans are well underway and there’s just a few short weeks until the summer transfer window officially opens, with trading set to start in the middle of June and close at the end of August.

The EFL have confirmed the start and end of the summer transfer window, when the Sky Blues are expected to be pretty busy as Mark Robins looks to add numbers and strengthen his squad after narrowly missing out on the play-offs this time around.

City will be able to register players from June 14 and the window closes on Friday, August 30 at 11pm. Summer windows in recent years have run into September but that will not be the case in 2024.

Coventry have already revealed their retained list with three senior players out of contract and all expected to leave the club. So far stalwart midfielder Liam Kelly and experienced goalkeeper Simon Moore have left the CBS Arena, with attacking midfielder Callum O’Hare also expected to be confirmed as leaving. The 26-year-old has been offered a fresh deal and is wanted by manager Mark Robins but all the indications are that the former Aston Villa prospect will be leaving on a free transfer for a higher placed club either in this country or abroad.

Elsewhere loan defender Luis Binks has returned to his parent club Bologna after completing his season long stay and the club have released Under-21s players Dermi Lusala and Bradley Stretton.

There are also question marks over the futures of some contracted players, namely striker Matty Godden and goalkeeper Ben Wilson which may provide opportunities for the club to wheel and deal a bit in the summer market.
