China became the focal point of COVID-19. More than 2 months later it is returning to normality bit by bit. Thus, the Premier League in search of a place to finish the season could end up in the Asian country.
Premier League clubs want to finish the season no matter what. 'The Athletic' informs that the clubs no that if the competition is suspended, they risk losing up to 870 million euros in television rights.
Thus, according to the aforementioned source, one club has proposed the option of China to play the last few matches of the season, although at no time is the name of the team given.
Not all the Premier League sides look favourably on moving the competition to China, the country where the COVID-19 virus started that has infected more than 1 million people worldwide.
"It doesn't make any sense. I think this idea will clearly be rejected. If we were to move the Premier League to the other side of the world we would be sacrificed to do this", added another club's director.
The Premier League continues to look at different scenarios to return to action. One of them is to have a World Cup format, in the same city, to decide the champion.
The players of the English competition want safety if they want to play the matches every few hours. For that reason, they are asking for 5 changes per team and VAR to get removed.
