The Premier League is close to a new agreement with the EFL to end a long-running dispute, with talks focused on increasing payments to the EFL and changing elements of domestic cup scheduling. Coverage says the sides are roughly £27 million apart and that there is growing confidence a deal can be reached.
One reported proposal would include a significant rise in payments from the Premier League to the EFL. The same reports say the plan also involves scrapping the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg, reshaping how the competition is staged.
The sources frame the development as a potential resolution to the current stalemate between the leagues, but provide limited detail beyond the reported funding gap and the proposed cup change. No further breakdown of the payment structure or the full timeline for implementation is included in the cited accounts.
