The Daily Mail report that the Premier League and Football Association want to introduce new rules on agents from next season.
They want to stop them being paid by both the club and player in a single transfer.
The issue is understood to be on the agenda for Friday’s Premier League shareholders meeting.
The Premier League are thought to want a ‘player pays’ policy by the start of next season, despite opposition from the agents.
FIFA are looking at a ‘hybrid’ regulation for agents. This would mean only the player would pay the agent, who would receive a capped total of around five per cent on the share of the contract.
