Juventus sporting director Fabio Paratici predicted that this summer's transfer market will feature NBA-like trades between teams.

"There will be lots of trades, a situation that will bring football closer to the NBA," said Paratici.

Paratici cited the economic fallout from not playing matches as a key reason for the new transfer style.

Juventus players agreed to take a four month pay cut to help the club recover its losses in revenue.

Paratici added that certain leagues are more equipped to handle the stoppage in play.

"It's also likely that some of the clubs, for example in Germany, may benefit from the overall situation of crisis as they have a more solid economy than others."
