La Liga President Javier Tebas has said that Europe’s major domestic leagues, including the Eredivisie must restart in mid-May.

LaLiga president Tebas, who is part of a UEFA working committee that also includes the Premier League, claims that European leagues should take action again in mid-May to meet the late June deadline.

Tebas said: ‘Given the current situation, we think we can resume the competitions in mid-May, perhaps in the third week.

“If circumstances permit, we can bring it up.

“There are 30 involved leagues and 30 cup tournaments and we have to coordinate each schedule both nationally and internationally. We must work together. ‘

A decision to postpone the European Championships until 2021 has given more time to complete the national league seasons.

But Tebas claims that the European leagues are still running on a tight schedule due to UEFA’s deadline.

He said: ‘We work with leagues like Serie A in Italy, which has 14 games to play, or the Danish league, which has 15 to play.

“UEFA’s decision to postpone Euro 2020 will help us find a way to end our matches. We made our calendar calculations even before we decided to postpone it.

“We knew we could fix something and we are now looking at different restart data. We have to work the other way around, looking at the last date we can start playing to work out other options. ‘

Spanish radio station Cadena Copa have previously claimed that Tebas’ expectations that games resume in mid-May will require games to be played much more often than usual when football resumes.

It is said that a schedule has been drawn up in which teams play every two days, to ensure that the league sticks to the proposed end date.

In Spain, there are 11 more rounds to play, plus the Copa del Rey final and the rest of the Champions League and Europa League campaigns.

The Premier League has nine playing weekends to get through, as well as the closing of the FA Cup to join the European leagues.

Premier League clubs have decided to close this season to safeguard the billions of broadcasting rights paid, and Tebas claims the scrapping of the campaign would cut European competitions a whopping £ 6.8 billion (€ 7.5 billion) would cost.
