Fifa Ratifies Summer Transfer Window Move

By Daily Sports on April 8, 2020

The summer transfer window will be moved and contracts ending on 30 June will be extended for a short period under proposals agreed by all football's major stakeholders, world governing body Fifa has confirmed.

It is now accepted by all parties that the initial hope of completing the 2019-20 season by 30 June will not happen.

After agreement was reached with major stakeholders about the way forward, new proposals have been approved by Fifa’s Bureau of Council.

With many player contracts scheduled to expire at the end of June, it has been agreed those deals will automatically extend until whenever the season eventually ends - with new deals beginning before the 2020-21 season starts.

“It is now obvious that the current season will not end when people thought it would,” Fifa said in a statement.

“Therefore, it is proposed that contracts be extended until such time that the season does actually end.

“A similar principle applies to contracts due to begin when the new season starts, meaning the entry into force of such contracts is delayed until the next season actually does start.

“It is also necessary to adjust the normal regulatory position to the new factual circumstances.

“Accordingly, Fifa will be flexible and allow the relevant transfer windows to be moved so they fall between the end of the old season and the start of the new season.”

Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin has spoken of the campaign being concluded in August, with La Liga counterpart Javier Tebas speaking optimistically about a resumption in Spain in late May.

However, with domestic leagues and cups, plus European competitions to fit in, there is no guarantee of that given the continent’s leagues – with the exception of Belarus – remain suspended.

Fifa has urged clubs to protect jobs if at all possible and is encouraging clubs and players to work together to find agreements. (BBC)
