It’s reported a relaxation of Financial Fair Play rules would not apply to those previously penalised, such as Inter and Roma.

UEFA announced plans to ease the FFP restrictions from next year, which will be voted on at the end of this month.

The rules try to create a balance between revenue and expenditure, preventing rich club owners from pumping endless sums of money into the coffers.

However, while the relaxation of FFP is good news for many clubs, L’Equipe claim it will not apply to sides already penalised.

The rules try to create a balance between revenue and expenditure, preventing rich club owners from pumping endless sums of money into the coffers.

However, while the relaxation of FFP is good news for many clubs, L’Equipe claim it will not apply to sides already penalised.

This includes Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, Monaco, Inter and Roma.

They’d have to wait until at least 2019 to take advantage of the new regulations, some up to 2020.

However, as Inter have not actually qualified for any UEFA competition this season, they can burst through the spending barrier and hope to balance the books with sales by the time they do get back into Europe.

The same is true of Milan, who are ready to spend €35m on Porto striker Jackson Martinez, €28m on Monaco midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia and a huge salary for Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The Rossoneri can also balance the books because they have numerous players with big wages who will be out of contract next month, freeing up cash for transfers.
