Premier League clubs will vote on Monday on a 'New Deal' to pay out £836m to the EFL over the next five years – ahead of the arrival of the regulator.
A revised proposal, which will include an increased levy on transfers, also requires Championship clubs to commit to rules which state they can only spend 70 per cent of revenues on player costs.
However, whether the deal will be able to attract the votes needed remains unclear.
Mail Sport understands a number of top-flight clubs continue to harbour strong reservations over the deal, which would come on top of existing financial support to the wider game totalling £1.
