The Football Association is discussing proposals to move the summer transfer window to August until October.
The window in England is currently scheduled to open on June 18 - but that is not expected to go ahead.
The 2019-20 Premier League season will resume that same week and will continue into July while the final nine rounds of fixtures are completed.
FIFA are set provide guidance on the parameters between which new windows can be set, and it is then down to individual associations to finalise specific dates.
The FA is also consulting with other associations across Europe and there is said to be some consensus over a deadline of Friday, October 2.
The French Football Federation (FFF) opened their domestic window on Monday, with their leagues having already been cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, but they are also said to be looking at an August-to-October window for international transfers.
The Italian Football Federation (FIGC), meanwhile, has already confirmed their transfer window will take place from September 1 to October 5, with the Serie A season also set to resume later this month.
Manchester City are keen to sign Leicester's Ben Chilwell along with Chelsea.
The young England left-back has been identified as one of Chelsea's top targets this summer - but could face rival interest from City.
Chilwell has four years left on his contract and Leicester are under no pressure to sell the 23-year-old.
The Premier League 2019/20 season will restart on Wednesday, June 17 and Sky, the UK's leading football broadcaster, will make 25 games available 'free to air' - including Everton vs Liverpool on the first full weekend back - for everyone in the UK to enjoy.
Sky Sports will show 64 live Premier League games when the season resumes. In addition to the 39 matches already scheduled to be broadcast exclusively live on Sky Sports before the coronavirus interruption, 25 more matches will be available on both Sky Sports Premier League and Sky's free-to-air Pick channel, allowing the whole nation to be part of the return of live sport.
To celebrate the return of the Premier League, Sky Sports will also launch a host of innovative new features and updates to give fans an even more immersive experience and share the moments live with family and friends on virtual platforms.
