Premier League clubs could reportedly be offered cash incentives from next season to take the Europa League seriously as concerns rise over the division's UEFA coefficient.
The Premier League is in danger of losing its fourth-placed Champions League spot, and with major clubs Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool all potentially set for Europa League football in 2016-17, plans are afoot to improve English teams' performances in Europe's second tier.
According to Dan King in the Sun, Premier League boss Richard Scudamore is set to ask clubs to approve a plan that could see rewards of up to £10 million offered for good performances in the Europa League.
