EFL to discuss maximum fee proposal on Wednesday
Top-tier clubs increasingly targeting academy players
The Premier League wants EFL clubs to agree to cap the compensation fees they pay for signing youngsters from lower-division academies.
Under current rules clubs receive compensation for the loss of young players through a combination of fixed training compensation, appearance-based payments and sell-on entitlements, which involves an element of negotiation.
If the two parties are unable to agree, when a player is offered scholarship terms by another club the matter is referred to an independent tribunal, the Professional Football Compensation Committee.
