FIFA 'to confirm 2019-20 season will be extended INDEFINITELY' with Premier League sides desperate to play remaining games to avoid paying back huge £762million in TV rights

FIFA will confirm an indefinite extension to the current 2019-20 season, giving the power to each country to determine when their campaign will be finished.

As reported by The Athletic, the governing body of world football is also set to change the dates of this summer's transfer window and allow players to extend their contracts beyond June 30.

The plans, which could be announced in the next two days, means the concept of rendering the season null and void is less likely to materialise as Premier League sides look to avoid paying back huge sums of money in broadcast rights.
