The agreement with suspended FIFA president Sepp Blatter was a "man-to-man" deal, according to the UEFA president.
Embattled European soccer executive Michel Platini has confessed there was no written contract between himself and outgoing FIFA president Sepp Blatter for an alleged "disloyal payment" that resulted in the pair's suspension from the organization.
Last week, Blatter called a reported 2011 payment of 2 million Swiss francs (roughly $2.2 million at the time) to Platini a "gentleman's agreement." The money was for work the UEFA president claims he carried out for FIFA between 1999 and 2002
The transaction is the subject of a criminal investigation by the Swiss attorney general, yet Platini still believes he has the support to be chosen as Blatter's successor.
