Bundesliga clubs could get transfer market advantage with early restart, says finance expert

Bundesliga clubs could have an advantage in the transfer market if the league restarts in May, according to a football finance expert.

The German Football League (DFL) confirmed on Thursday that the country's top flight will resume on May 9, provided the decision has the backing of politicians. It would make the Bundesliga the first of Europe's top leagues to play games again after being forced to suspend the schedule due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Stars such as Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho and RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner have been linked with moves abroad, specifically to Premier League clubs.
