FIFA president Gianni Infantino spoke about the possibility of a salary cap in football in March and the topic is also on the radar of European football’s governing body.
“In the future, we have to seriously think about a salary cap,” said Ceferin. “If the budgets go sky-high then our competitive balance is a problem.
“It’s not about the owners; it’s about the value of the competition, because if five clubs will always win then it doesn’t make sense any more.
“So this is the future here, and I’m not afraid of the club owners being too powerful or anything. UEFA is leading the European competition and we have great relations with the European Club Association now.”

Could the Champions League final take place in the US?
In April, Ceferin was re-elected as Uefa president unopposed for a third term and will remain in the role until 2027.
“But it has to be a collective agreement – every league and UEFA. Because if we do it and the other leagues don’t, then it doesn’t make sense.
“I hope it can be made as soon as possible. “For now, we have the new rule after 2024 that you can spend up to 70% of your revenues for salaries and transfers, but that’s not enough because if your revenues are five billion, 70% is quite a lot.
Astonishingly, he also discussed the prospect of the Champions League final taking place in the United States with Men in Blazers.
