Premier League is suffering because of Covid-19

The decision to postpone because Covid-19 of the Premier League is causing many problems. This is related to the contract of the players at the tournament.

According to the BTC decision, the Premier League will be postponed until April 3 when the Covid-19 pandemic is booming in Europe. However, this is only a temporary solution, the number 1 tournament in England may even take off until May or June. And this will cause the Euro 2020 finals to be postponed.

But if the above scenario happens, an irony situation will occur when many players will not be able to play for their club until the end of the season.

Willian & Matic are the players who are out of contract

Specifically, the Daily Mail said there are 69 players will be out of contract with the host club on June 30. Worth mentioning, there are dozens of stars playing for big teams like Nemanja Matic (MU), Willian, Pedro, Olivier Giroud (Chelsea), Vertonghen (Tottenham), David Silva (Man City), etc.

In the case when the season returns, an unprecedented prospect is that the aforementioned players may refuse to play for the club because they no longer have a binding contract. This season there are still 9 rounds to play and this is what can happen.

Director of sports law firm, Udo Onwere shared on Sportsmail. “The teams will try to wait, but after June 30, the player no longer has any obligations to play the game. The player has all the power in that scenario.”

Obviously, the raging of Covid-19 has brought to the football world many difficult problems. After the announcement of the postponement of the Premier League was officially announced, there were many questions. Even the possibility of canceling tournament results is taken into account.

In order to solve the contract maturity problem, a solution was put forward, that the players and the host club must come to a separate agreement.

For example, Nemanja Matic will continue to play in the final rounds of MU when receiving a one-time payment (payment). However, the Serbian midfielder will not be signing any contracts with other teams during this period.

In general, given the escalating situation of Covid-19, the Premier League must extend the compensatory time until July is entirely possible.
