Real Madrid director general, Jose Angel Sanchez has said that some Premier League clubs are being investigated by FIFA, over breach of the same regulations that saw Atletico and Real Madrid handed transfer bans.
Last week, FIFA’s disciplinary committee stated that the two La Liga clubs “violated several provisions concerning the international transfer and first registration” of players under 18 years of age and banned them from the next two windows.
Barcelona have already served a similar punishment and have only just been allowed to register players this month.
Sanchez has now claimed that English clubs are also being targeted.
“I have relations with British clubs and I know for a fact that in many of these cases, the disciplinary investigations have already started a while ago,” he told the El Larguero programme on Cadena Ser.
“I imagine that FIFA’s resources for these investigations are limited and FIFA cannot do everything at the same time but I have the impression that this is being done at European level and that more cases will follow, one after the other.
“Because of my work, I have a lot of relations with the English clubs and I know for a fact that FIFA has already opened investigations into some of them, I don’t know if it has already reached the disciplinary stage,” he told Onda Cero in a separate interview.
“I have the feeling that FIFA wants to do this worldwide. I have the feeling there will be a lot of cases in the next couple of years.”
