Police investigations are keeping a reported £10 million Premier League-related payment frozen, according to multiple reports. The probe focuses on a former partner connected to fantasy football and digital card releases.

The outlets say Sorare.com had a licensing arrangement linked to the release of digital trading cards featuring Premier League players, tied to its free-to-play online fantasy football product. The reports state that police are examining the background of the arrangement and the conduct of the former partner during the period in question.

While the articles agree on the frozen sum and the existence of the Sorare-related licensing deal, they differ in emphasis, with one outlet foregrounding the payment freeze and the other providing more limited detail. Across coverage, the central point remains that law enforcement scrutiny is ongoing and affects how the Premier League’s funds are handled until the investigation reaches further conclusions.
