Tom Werner has called for Premier League clubs to be protected from the impact of Brexit.
Liverpool’s chairman made the plea after the English top flight agreed to bring the summer transfer window back in line with is European counterparts.
Premier League teams will be able to trade players until September 1, having previously been required to finalise their business before the start of the season.
But Werner believes that a common sense approach needs to be exercised in future years as the UK finalises its exit from the European Union in December.
Following the end of the transition period, FIFA rules will prevent players under the age of 19 joining Premier League clubs from their EU counterparts.
“[Government] should probably spend a bit of time elsewhere and protect the integrity and the quality of the league,” Werner told the Telegraph.
“As far as we’re concerned, the Premier League is not just the strongest league in the world. It’s a great export for the UK.
“So, whatever changes and considerations the Government is making, hopefully they can take into account that the league itself should be protected.
“And [that it] will continue to display what, I think everyone would agree, are the greatest players in the world and the greatest teams in the world.”
Thursday’s meeting of the league’s 20 member clubs also saw a new overseas TV rights deal worth £2billion over six years brokered with Nordic Television.
Following Amazon Prime’s foray of live streaming games in December, Werner admitted that a Netflix-style deal remains a possibility in the long-term.
He added: “We live in a dynamic, changing world in terms of the sport’s environment so you have to look at all sorts – how the games are displayed, direct to consumer, exclusivity.
“All those issues are always on the table.”
