Liverpool and other leading Premier League clubs could soon pay out an extra £45million per year in solidarity payments over the course of a three-year cycle, Football Insider has learned. There is increasing confidence among senior figures at EFL clubs that a financial redistribution deal will be agreed before the introduction of an independent regulator.

two most powerful bodies in English football have been in talks for months about a potential shake-up to the way cash filters down through the pyramid. Further urgency was injected into the talks in February after the government laid out its plans for an independent football regulator, which will have the power to impose its own financial model. The EFL wants a 25 per cent cut of Premier League TV cash, a significant increase on the 16 per cent they currently receive and one which they believe is necessary for non-top-flight clubs to be financially sustainable.



If the EFL successfully secure a nine per cent increase in solidarity payments, that will equate to an extra £900m per rights cycle. That means that each Premier League club will contribute an extra £45m every three years, assuming an even distribution between top-flight clubs.
