FIFA proposes 'flexible' transfer windows and extended contracts as result of coronavirus outbreak

The organisation has offered a set of recommendations for when leagues return to play following the Covid-19 pandemic.

In response to the coronavirus outbreak and its impact on world football, FIFA has announced that the organization is open to "flexible" transfer window adjustments while recommending the extension of player contracts through to the end of the season.

Virtually all of sport is currently sidelined due to the outbreak of Covid-19, with leagues all over the world shutdown indefinitely as governments work to control and combat the virus.

As a result, football's return remains up in the air as we head into what should have been a busy summer of matches and tournaments.
