Manchester City's Spanish midfielder David Silva is among the leading names whose contracts expire at the end of June. AFP/Lindsey ParnabyPARIS: With football having ground to a halt because of the coronavirus pandemic, the usual transfer rumour mill has fallen silent and nobody cares much where Neymar or Paul Pogba might be playing next season.

Manchester United's Paul Pogba was one of the star players being linked to a big-money move in Europe's summer window but the coronavirus pandemic will have a knock-on effect on the transfer industry. AFP/Paul ELLISUEFA's commitment to ending the European season by Jun 30 was surely partly because it is common practice for contracts to run until that date.
