You may be able to have a clause that gives you some interim cover for new signings before you add them, but almost certainly not up to £15m.
So yes, there is the potential for a short period, especially if you sign someone late at night or at the weekend, when a player you've forked out for isn't covered.
(I work in insurance, and although insurance for professional clubs isn't my thing I've had some experience of it).
