UK government locked in 'delicate negotiations' to move Champions League final to England, says Gove

Michael Gove says the United Kingdom government is currently locked in "delicate negotiations" to move the Champions League final from Turkey to England.

Manchester City and Chelsea will contest the all-English showpiece event on May 29, which is currently due to take place at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul.

Both sets of supporters are set to miss out on attending the game due to the fact Turkey has been added to England's coronavirus red list for travel, but Gove says steps are now being taken to switch the location.
