Transfer business opens up again next month and clubs may use this to make proactive moves ahead of the window. Taking place in a ‘speed-dating’ format, officials from more than 250 clubs across the continent will take part in pre-arranged meetings online.

Clubs will be permitted to hold up to 15 pre-arranged talks for roughly 12 minutes at a time.

Jonas Ankersen, chief executive and founder of TransferRoom, said: “The Covid-19 crisis has made it impossible for clubs to do their transfer business in the usual way.

“The pandemic has also increased the financial pressures at all levels of the game so it has never been more important for clubs to have a clear identity and to devise a transfer policy that reflects it.

“Clever recruitment – finding ways to uncover hidden gems who perform on the pitch AND the balance sheet– is vital in these challenging times, and TransferRoom is giving clubs the tools to succeed.”
