Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore has warned Asian clubs that a salary cap would have a negative effect on their game.
The method is used in Australia’s A-League and in American sports to control costs but Scudamore told an Asian Football Confederation meeting that introducing a cap affects a league’s ability to attract and hold on to the best players.
“Ultimately, your best talent will be picked off because you are uncompetitive if you have a cap,” he said.
“The threat is in the middle-ranking clubs scouting for everybody’s talent. I can’t think of a practical way for a worldwide salary cap.”
Scudamore also defended the Premier League’s policy of unequal distribution of television money among clubs.
He added: “We distribute revenues equitably but not evenly. You do not necessarily need to give out revenues evenly to be competitive.”
