Premier League clubs will vote this Monday on proposals to extend players’ contracts until the day after the end of the rescheduled season when they meet to discuss Project Restart.
They will also vote on opening a mini-window in the last week of June when they are permitted to approach out of contract players to sign for next season.
The defining vote on whether to resume the season will not take place until May 18, a week on Monday, amidst continued in-fighting between the clubs, but resolving the complex issues surrounding players’ contracts would represent a significant step towards the Premier League returning next month.
