Chief Legal Officer Emilio Garcia Silvero has revealed that FIFA won’t open the transfer market on July 1 and players on expiring deals should therefore be able to complete the current campaign in the event of a resumption.
The calendars have been modified to go beyond the normal seasons and the contracts expiring on June 30 has been a hot topic among Presidents in the media.
Chief Legal Officer Emilio Garcia Silvero has revealed that FIFA won’t open the transfer market on July 1 and players on expiring deals should therefore be able to complete the current campaign in the event of a resumption.
The calendars have been modified to go beyond the normal seasons and the contracts expiring on June 30 has been a hot topic among Presidents in the media.
But Garcia Silvero has claimed that, despite not being able to automatically extend the current contracts, FIFA will not reopen the registration as normally, meaning that the players will remain available to their current clubs in the event of a return to the pitch.
“FIFA can’t extend the contracts beyond June 30, but the transfer windows will not be the same and the players can’t be registered,” he told Cadena Cope, according to Calciomercato.com. “I fact, the market will not open on July 1.
“If a deal ends on June 30, theoretically, the player should return to his club. However, the registration will not be open, therefore a deal would not be processed.
