UEFA could be about to relax the Financial Fair Play rules which the likes of Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain fell foul of last year.
President Michel Platini told French radio station RTL he thinks the regulations will be eased next month, which would allow more owner investment.
"I think the regulations that have been made are fine, but FFP was voted in by the clubs. The French press have questioned it since Roman Abramovich at Chelsea can buy players while in France they cannot. Today in France they want another system, but if Qatar [owners of Paris Saint-Germain] had bought AC Milan they would want stricter enforcement. As it is, the Italians also say they want a lighter FFP. I understand that we are in a world of false bottoms, but we say this openly. I think we’ll lighten things up," he said.
Off The Ball will be speaking about this tonight on the European football round-up with Ben Lyttleton.
