The Premier League has written to its clubs to explain its rules regarding the fair valuation of players involved in transfers after “a significant number requested clarification” following recent swap deals.
Earlier this week BBC Sport revealed that at least one club intended to raise the issue with the Premier League.
It came amid concerns some clubs may be looking to sell each other players in order to exploit a potential loophole in Profit & Sustainability Rules (PSR), which limit losses, before an accounting deadline on Sunday.
In the letter the Premier League warns that part of a transfer fee would have to be returned by the selling club if it decides a fee has been “inflated”.
