Premier League Bosman prospects face uncertain few months

The Premier League's Bosman prospects face an uncertain few months ahead with the season now suspended.

The Daily Mail says the Premier League's out-of-contract stars are not obliged to see out the season if it runs into July - putting them on a collision course with their clubs.

Players in the final years of their current contracts will cease to be employed by clubs on June 30 when their deals expire.

The prospect of the club season extending into July has become a real possibility following the decision to delay domestic and European fixtures.

The postponement opens up the unprecedented prospect of players potentially refusing to play for their clubs in July because they are no longer contractually obliged to do so.

Sixty-nine Premier League players are out of contact on June 30, Willian (Chelsea), Oliver Giroud (Chelsea), David Silva (Manchester City), Adam Lallana (Liverpool) and Jan Vertonghen (Tottenham) among them.
