Sky Sports executives are reportedly 'unhappy' at details of a rumoured £10million new 'fly-on-the-wall' TV series about Manchester City to be broadcast on its rival Amazon Prime which have leaked.

The club is said to be in the final stages of finalising the details for a new documentary with the online broadcaster - despite Premier League rights holders objecting.

The highly lucrative deal is set to allow the TV newcomers to film behind-the-scenes - everything from in the dug-out and on the training pitch to in the dressing room - at the club for an entire season.

It's understood that they will have "access all areas" permission to follow the main characters on and off the pitch for a series of programmes that will only be available on Amazon Prime - home to shows like Jeremy Clarkson's The Grand Tour.

News of the leaked deal comes after MirrorOnline reported how Sky was slashing its prices for customers in the wake of fierce competition from the likes of Netflix and Amazon.

MirrorOnline also reported how Facebook is keen to stream Premier League football matches - with broadcast rights for 2019 to 2022 up for auction in February.

The Daily Mail reports that Sky are known to have voiced their "understandable unease" at Amazon being able to "buy their way" into the Etihad Stadium.

Sky paid more than £4billion for their current Premier League rights deal - more than £11million for every match.

Moving to protect the rights of Sky, BT Sports and numerous overseas partners, the Premier League is also reported to have voiced their concerns.

They are said to have already felt it necessary to "make it clear" there are strict regulations in place over match-day coverage in the UK.

These restrictions have already resulted in Amazon Prime's main competitor, Netflix, having signed up Juventus for a similar project rather than an English club.

The Mail cites an email said to have been sent from Netflix HQ in Los Angeles to its UK contacts complaining that they don't know how to solve the issue of 'the Premier League controlling game-day access'.

It is said to have further stated that obtaining match footage to broadcast alongside what is filmed behind-the-scenes would be ‘very tricky’.

Netflix are producing four hour-long documentaries on Juventus which

In contrast, the Juventus deal will let Netflix produce four hour-long documentaries next year - which will include Serie A footage alongside behind-the-scenes footage from places like the dug out and dressing room.

A spokesman for the Italian giants said: "It’s a source of pride that Juventus is the first football club to be the subject of a Netflix original docu-series."

Amazon declined to comment to the Mail about the Man City deal.
