Premier League 'keen to hold crisis talks with Sky Sports and BT Sport as they look to avoid paying back £762m in TV rights money... but there are fears foreign broadcasters will be harder to convince'

Premier League clubs are hoping to hold crisis talks with Sky Sports and BT Sport as they aim to avoid paying out a £762million bill, according to reports.

The outlook, as it stands, is that they hope they will be able to finish the 2019-20 season and play out the remaining fixtures in order to avoid having to hand back a huge chunk of money.

According to the Mirror, there are already talks among the clubs in the top flight about trying to come to a deal with the TV companies if they do end up having to curtail the season.
