Headlines: Club Union Seeks More Funds for Player Development

The Athletic:

Football lobby group the Union of European Clubs (UEC) wants UEFA to set aside five per cent of its £3.7billion ($4.9bn) annual revenue from club competitions to reward all the teams that help to develop the stars of the show. The Player Development Reward (PDR), the UEC’s first significant proposal, would be shared between European clubs based on the minutes played in UEFA competitions and prize money earned by players they have trained earlier in their careers.
