The coronavirus pandemic threw football into chaos this year.
While the Premier League season has now resumed, clubs and players alike face an uncertain future.
The financial ramifications of the disruption are yet to be truly seen but, in the short term, players up and down the country find themselves with decisions to make.
Most player contracts in the Premier League end on June 30 of a given year, but the 2019-20 season is now expected to run until late July. For clubs playing in Europe, fixtures may continue until the end of August.
The Premier League has set a deadline of June 23 for players to agree short-term contract extensions in order to play until the end of the season.
Some have already taken up this option – David Silva at Manchester City and Liverpool’s Adam Lallana among them – but plenty of players are still set to be without a club on July 1.
