Real Madrid director general Jose Angel Sanchez has claimed that FIFA is looking into Premier League clubs over breaches of the same regulations that saw Atletico and Real Madrid given transfer window bans last week.

FIFA's disciplinary committee said the two Madrid clubs "violated several provisions concerning the international transfer and first registration" of players under 18 years of age and both were issued a transfer ban to last across two windows and fined.

Barcelona served a similar ban over the same issue and have only just been allowed to register players again, but Sanchez gave a number of radio interviews to Spanish media claiming that the Premier League is also a target.
