UEFA Has Present New Financial Fair Play Rules.
The new Uefa rules are clearly intended to attract investors.
Since the introduction of Financial Fair Play in 2011 clubs have basically been ordered to live within their means.
Uefa says that European clubs' overall debt has been cut from 1.7 billion euros ($1.89 billion) in 2011 to 487 million euros in 2014.
Uefa president Michel Platini insisted that the new fair play is "an expansion and a strengthening" of the rules.
"The overall objectives of financial fair play remain the same. We are just evolving from a period of austerity to one where we can offer more opportunities for sustainable growth and development," he said.
But Uefa general secretary Gianni Infantino acknowledged legal challenges made against the rules and doubts raised by some clubs about the restrictions.
"This is what we were hearing: 'Why should we invest if it's forbidden. If I invest I am in breach (of fair play and) there are consequences,'" Infantino said after the executive committee approved the new rules.
