Reading will want to focus on incomings rather than potential departures between now and the end of the window.
The League One side have been unable to get busy in the transfer market this summer due to their ownership situation – and the fact their accounts haven’t been submitted may have been a barrier in their potential quest to get deals over the line.
Their inability to make signings hasn’t been ideal, considering the Royals have lost quite a few players since the end of the 2023/24 campaign.
Not only have Dom Ballard, Zane Monlouis and Paul Mukairu left following the end of their loan spells at the Select Car Leasing Stadium, but Matty Carson, Nesta Guinness-Walker, Sam Hutchinson and Clinton Mola have also departed, having left following the end of their contracts.
With all of these players leaving and no players coming in, that has left the Royals with a major shortage of depth and there’s plenty of work to be done between now and the end of the transfer window.
However, they must also brace themselves for interest in some of their star players, having made a fairly positive start to the campaign. And some youngsters could potentially exit the club on loan to secure more game time.

Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan
Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan has enjoyed a brilliant start to the 2024/25 season, scoring on the opening day against Birmingham City and grabbing a goal and an assist against Wigan Athletic.
He has made the left-wing spot his own at the SCL Stadium, but the Royals could be the victims of his early-season success if other sides sit up and take notice of him.
Some teams could see the remainder of the window as an opportunity to get a deal over the line for the player, considering his contract runs out in 2025.
With the player yet to put pen to paper on a new contract, that may put a ceiling on the amount that the Berkshire outfit can demand for him.
But the club don’t have many wingers at their disposal and with this in mind, they will surely fight hard to retain him beyond the end of August 30th.
