Football's world governing body, FIFA has confirmed that the summer transfer window will be moved and contracts ending on June 30 will be extended for a short period under proposals agreed by all of football's major stakeholders.
It's now accepted by all parties that the initial hope of completing the 2019-20 season by June 30 will not happen.
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 begins.
