Manchester City leading opposition to Premier League’s £1.5bn EFL proposal

Manchester City is leading opposition to the Premier League's proposed £1.5bn financial settlement for the EFL, which would be spread over ten years. During a meeting of the twenty clubs on Thursday, City will challenge the funding methods. Specifically, the club is among a small number of top-flight teams seeking alternatives to a 50% increase in the domestic transfer levy, offering a counterproposal to resolve the landmark deal before the new season begins.
