manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Manchester City are in line to receive a major boost in regards to Financial Fair Play rules following a $1 billion broadcasting deal between FIFA and DAZN.

According to the Mail, the Premier League champions are set to receive a fee between £50m and £60m after FIFA signed a television deal with DAZN to stream the Club World Cup.

Fellow top-flight side Chelsea will also be eligible to receive this bonus due to their participation in the tournament. City's involvement will give them a major financial boost compared to their Premier League rivals, with Arsenal and Liverpool not involved in the competition.

The Reds won the tournament in 2019, but as champions, they were rewarded with £4m in prize money, but that figure looks set to be dwarfed by what City and Chelsea shall get this time out.
