The leaders of the Premier League want to discuss how to proceed on Friday, May 1. According to Mirror , it is also conceivable that ghost games also take place in neutral locations. In this context, Wembley Stadium in London and St. George's Park in Burton have already been mentioned as possible venues. Jürgen Klopp and his Liverpool FC are only missing one victory for the championship title at best - can they finally be celebrated in mid-June?

Meanwhile, there is still speculation about transfers in England. The clubs are particularly interested in Jadon Sancho - can the BVB star reject this offer from Manchester United?

Premier League: premature end of season in England? decision made

Local media had previously speculated that several clubs in the English House of Lords are planning to finish the current season  by June 30  .

Premier League: surprising plans for sequel - Liverpool ahead of championship

April 17 update, 6:48 a.m .: How is the Premier League dealing  with the corona crisis ? On Friday (April 17th) the clubs of the English elite league want to deal with this question again. At the moment, the end of the season on June 30 is apparently under discussion

The background is, according to consistent British media reports, the contract end of many football professionals on this date . Some clubs fear this will distort competition if the season continues with changed teams and possibly without some top performers.

What is the decision? We'll keep you up to date. In the Bundesliga , the clubs can at least look forward to financial support: the TV money should still flow in April.

Update of April 16, 7.28 a.m .:  According to a report by the Mirror  , some clubs from the Premier League are campaigning for a shortened season to end the season on June 30 and, among other things, to be able to choose a champion. According to the British newspaper, at least nine clubs have had " serious discussions " about it. 

They therefore want to present their position at a league summit on Friday (April 17) and make a corresponding proposal as to how the procedure could look like.

Premier League: Shortened season in response to the Corona crisis?

Most clubs still have nine games to complete, including Liverpool , which leads the table ahead of Manchester City with 25 points . Four clubs have to compete ten more times.

The shortened season is better than "great uncertainty and total chaos," according to Mirror . Concerns about a possible season after June 30th are said to arise due to the end of contracts between players on this date and sponsors. The league leaders have so far made it clear that the rest of the season should be played over . It is said to be completed in six weeks from June 1 .

Meanwhile, the clubs in Germany are also worried about their future - FC Schalke 04 is also facing financial ruin.

Premier League before dropping out, Liverpool champions? Alleged consensus among clubs

Update from April 11, 7.30 p.m .: Abrupt  season break in the Premier League ? It is certainly a worst-case scenario for the league carriers. But what if this really happens?

As the English Telegraph had already reported in mid-March, there was a consensus within the Premier League to designate FC Liverpool and its German team manager Jürgen Klopp as champions. Finally, the “Reds” lead the table by 25 points.

For the reigning Champions League winner, it is an almost historic opportunity. The LFC won the English championship 18 times - six of them in the 1980s. But Liverpool's last championship was 30 years ago. 

Because of Corona: Premier League before the demolition - Liverpool FC champions?

First report from April 11th: That would be awesome in the football world! Is the Premier League  about to be canceled due to the Corona crisis *? 

As the Daily Mail writes, this scenario could become more likely. The report is based on a statement by Pierpaolo Marino to Sportitalia . Serie A club sports director Udinese Calcio said the Premier League would follow the Belgian league's example and end the season

There, the season was last ended and Club Bruges declared champions - but only because the team could no longer be displaced from first place. The Liverpool is already far outpaces the English elite league, could theoretically still intercepted. Would Jürgen Klopp's Reds still be champions if the season ended ?

Premier League: end of season fixed? Liverpool FC could become champions prematurely

Marino knows about the demolition idea because the owners of his club also have their fingers in the Premier League - namely at Watford FC . Marino further said that the leaders of the Premier League will soon make a statement similar to what their colleagues in Belgium did in early April. Marino rated the situation in England as "very, very serious".

Udinese director Pierpaolo Marino (club shares owners with Watford): "In England, the Premier League is about to release a similar statement [to the Belgian FA who have ended the league]." #mulive [sportitalia]

Had the English season ended immediately, Liverpool would be first - nine games before the end with a 25 point lead - the new champion . Manchester City would have to finally bury the dream of defending its title - with Pep Guardiola's team, one player recently also had a grubby scandal.

Norwich , Aston Villa and Bournemouth should be relegated. Spicy: Watford would stay in the first non-relegation zone. Marino is hoping that the situation will improve soon. At the same time, he makes it clear that he no longer cares about the current season, but about the following. 

Arsenal have agreed with their players on a salary waiver, but Mesut Özil does not want to move - although he is one of the top earners.

How does football continue in the Bundesliga *? There are already initial discussions about ghost games - which the Ultras don't believe in at all.
