However, the thoughts of the players themselves have been paid little attention during the talks. This week, Manchester City star Sergio Aguero expressed health and safety concerns over playing football again.
And The Sun reports that the Professional Footballers' Association have taken calls from players worried about the health risks of playing football in the near future.
English trio Henderson, Kane and Noble are said to be leading figureheads in the discussions, having been inundated with numerous calls from their Premier League counterparts.

The growing resistance among players serves as a huge obstacle for the Premier League to overcome should they wish to see action resume and the season completed.
There had been hopes to follow the example set by Germany, where the Bundesliga was expected to return on May 9. However, that date has been pushed back as a result of a change of situation in the country.
Players had returned to training with their clubs, and three Cologne players had positive test results for coronavirus shortly after coming back to train with their club.
The report goes onto suggest that a number of players believe that Premier League chiefs are pursuing the resumption of play for purely financial reasons, and are seeking assurances that the relevant health and safety measures will be implemented.
It comes after Sergio Aguero this week said that players were 'scared' about returning
Several coaches are said to share the same views as the players, although the players will carry more sway in discussions and would take a driving seat in talks.
City striker Aguero said earlier this week that a lot of players are 'scared' about returning and passing the virus on to family members.
'The majority of players are scared because they have family, they have children, they have babies, parents,' he said.
'When we go back, I imagine that we will be very tense, we will be very careful, and the moment someone feels ill, you will think: "What's gone on there?" I hope there is a vaccine so all this ends.
'It does scare me but I have just been here with my girlfriend. I haven't had contact with other people.
'They say that there are people who have it but who don't have symptoms and they can infect you.'
