Due to the global Coronavirus pandemic, the format of the transfer market is likely to be modified according to a report in today’s print edition of Corriere dello Sport.
The Coronavirus pandemic has forced football across the world to a halt and has caused great financial damage to clubs and the European Club Association believe that clubs will rely on the window more than ever to try and help them recover financially.
As per the report, the total period in which transfer activity can take place will be no longer than a total period of 16 weeks or four months but it remains to be seen how it will be split, if at all, given some reports have suggested it could be an extra long window rather than having two windows.
The report goes on to state that the transfer market is just one of several issues that football chiefs have to deal with at the moment and it says that the Italian football federation are due to meet today to discuss things like registration and national licences for next season.
