In Germany we all agree: the 36 clubs have decided to end the season, even if it should be after 30 June for political or health reasons.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;National leagues have priority over the cups, this was decided by Uefa. As for contracts that expire in June, the market will have to be adapted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With Ivan Perisic, Philippe Coutinho and Alvaro Odriozola, we have three players expiring on June 30th.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If the season continues beyond that date, it is up to FIFA to find a solution that ensures that they can end the league with their respective clubs. Otherwise, competition would be distorted.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The revelation comes after it was confirmed by Bayern that the club will welcome back players for training on Monday for the first time since the Bundesliga was suspended. <span>The German Football League recommended\u00a0that clubs should not recommence training sessions until at least April 5. Bayern are now set to hold &#8216;small group&#8217; training programmes starting from this week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A club statement read: \u201cThe FC Bayern Munich first team will return to training in small groups from Monday, 6 April. This will be done in coordination with government policy and the relevant authorities. It goes without saying that all hygiene regulations will be strictly observed.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1139210 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/03\/06130926\/1137030_1137030_PA-53316128-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/03\/06130926\/1137030_1137030_PA-53316128-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/03\/06130926\/1137030_1137030_PA-53316128-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/03\/06130926\/1137030_1137030_PA-53316128-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/03\/06130926\/1137030_1137030_PA-53316128-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/03\/06130926\/1137030_1137030_PA-53316128-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/03\/06130926\/1137030_1137030_PA-53316128-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/03\/06130926\/1137030_1137030_PA-53316128-66x44.jpg 66w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cTraining will take place with no members of the public present.
