MILAN (Reuters) - Italy coach Giampiero Ventura believes that the transfer market should close before the start of the season, he said on Monday.

Ventura said that uncertainty over the situation of a number of players had made it difficult for him to pick the squad for Saturday's World Cup qualifying showdown away to Spain, their most important match since Euro 2016.
