Newcastle United are set to get an £80million cash boost thanks to the Premier League agreeing a commercial deal with video game company EA Sports.
United were in the Premier League meeting on Friday and were briefed about the deal which is worth close to £500millon in total to the top-flight. One Premier League supremo is believed to have stated it could deliver £80million per year to top-flight sides.
The six-year deal has left Serie A and La Liga sides casting envious glances as they know that the Premier Leagye is a commercial monster in which other Euro leagues can't compete with. The six-year deal is another reason the likes of Barcelona and Juventus are pushing for a new European Super League.
