The Premier League could be set for a whole host of rule changes regarding spending and wages in the future as discussions continue over the sustainability of football. It comes weeks after UEFA were said to be discussing a host of changes that would curb the spending power in English football.
The Premier League has routinely been a top spender in the transfer market, occasionally outspending all the other top five leagues combined. Chelsea's new ownership Boehly-Clearlake have had plenty of fingers pointed at them as examples of the huge transfer fees paid over the past year.
The American consortium have spent upwards of £500million in the market, often blowing their competition out of the water when making an approach for a player. Their tactic of spreading the cost of a long-term deal out over the length of a deal, otherwise known as amortisation, also caused plenty of uproar after agreeing contracts of seven-years in length and over.
