Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has called for off contract players to stay beyond June 30 and help finish the season.

Premier League clubs want a 'D-Day' completion date of June 30 - the day many deals finish - to avoid a minefield of legal struggles with stars and commercial partners.

But Carragher insists, "I'd just play.

"Whether under contract or not. I'd want to see the season out. Every team is in the same boat.

"There was something a couple of weeks ago about Fifa extending contracts but I don't know whether that is legally possibly. I'd want to finish that season as a player and maybe extend the contract by two or three weeks.

"If you're two or three matches away you might as well finish it. I was never in that situation about having my contract run down."
