Image source, Getty ImagesA decision on whether to scrap the Premier League's controversial Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) and adopt an "alternative system" is "coming up", says chief executive Richard Masters.
The current regulations, introduced in 2015-16 to prevent clubs from overspending, allow losses of £105m over a three-year reporting cycle.
However, they have been criticised by several top-flight teams for limiting their ability to invest.
BBC Sport has been told a decision on any changes is likely to be made at a meeting in November.
In February, clubs chose to continue with PSR for the current season.
However a squad cost ratio (SCR) system of financial control was adopted by the Premier League on a shadowing, non-binding basis.
SCR is similar to Uefa's existing financial rules and allows clubs to spend up to a percentage of their total revenues on squad-related costs.
Nine of the league's 20 clubs already have to comply with Uefa's SCR as a result of qualifying for Europe. Both Chelsea and Aston Villa were fined by Uefa in July for breaching the rules.
Asked about SCR at the Leaders sports conference in London, Masters said: "We are talking to our clubs about an alternative system. That's not to say we don't think the PSR system works."
He added: "It's about closer alignment with European regulation, which is squad cost ratio, which is a revenue test. In Uefa, it's now set at 70%. Our system will be 85% because we always want our clubs to have the ability to invest.
"The Premier League has been built on the back of investment in which international capital flows [are] coming in. We don't want that to be to be stifled off."

Brentford boss Keith Andrews has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Manchester City (kick-off 16:30 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Andrews said they have had time "to reflect" and look at why they beat Manchester United last weekend and he thinks they "should take a lot from it".
He described having an extra day for preparation as "a rarity" and it has helped contribute to a "nice week" at the training ground.
On opponents Manchester City: "They are obviously an outstanding team with a phenomenal manager. They have a lot of players who can test us in different ways so we will have to be on it in every phase of the game. It's about concentration levels, connection and then causing them problems."
He said they "need to try and make it uncomfortable" for City, but he is aware of how challenging that is.
Andrews said he hopes his team "embrace the challenge and enjoy it" because "that's a big part of what makes us, us."
On Igor Thiago's form: "He had been out for a long period of time so what you are seeing is what he is capable of. He's getting rhythm into his game and the attacking players around him are understanding more what his strengths are."
He said being unbeaten at home "is key" to getting points on the board, adding: "The fans have been really engaged with the team and the way we are trying to do things. That really helps the players and helps me."
He dismissed the suggestion they are poorer away from home and said: "I'm not making a big thing of it as it has only been a few games."
In response to the Bees having the most long throws into the box so far this season, he smiled and said: "Well I was the set piece coach last season, so I was in charge of them! It remains a key part of what we do and how we try to create opportunities."

Image source, Getty ImagesKeith Andrews needed to deliver a response to the dismal defeat at Fulham - and he did just that against Manchester United.
Gone was the five-at-the-back system to be replaced by a 4-3-3 line-up - and it paid off in the first 25 minutes as we blew United away to go 2-0 up.
Yes, we lost our way a bit after giving them a careless goal and did little until they got their penalty. But Caoimhin Kelleher's save inspired us and we dominated after that.
A lot of reports focused on United's frailties, but that shouldn't detract from Brentford's performance.
Of course we weren't perfect and still need to create more chances - although having eight out of our 10 shots on target is reminiscent of how we played last season.
But that is seven points out of nine at home, against teams who are - or expect to be - in Europe.
With Manchester City and Liverpool up next at home, and with Wolves and Aston Villa picking up points, this victory was vital.
Next job is to solve our miserable away form of three straight defeats.
A word for Bryan Mbeumo on his first Gtech return.
Warmly welcomed by fans in the warm-up - a welcome he reciprocated - he was quite rightly treated respectfully. There was applause both when his name was read out and when he went to take his first corner in front of the vociferous West Stand.
There was also some good-natured ribbing suggesting he "should have stayed at a big club" and asking him what the score was - but nothing wrong with that!
At full-time he greeted Bees staff on the bench and was embraced by former team-mates on the pitch.
I'm just relieved he wasn't the headline from this match - even though he is in my fantasy league team!

How 'outstanding' Brentford targeted Man Utd's defensive weaknesses
Where are Brentford's goals going to come from?
It was a question their fans have heard asked countless times over the past couple of years - a few might well have asked it themselves.
But even before it had been raised as a legitimate concern, the Bees have come up with a response.
Last summer Ivan Toney departed for Al-Ahli, but Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa not only helped fill the void, but impressively increased the west London club's goalscoring threat.
That duo, though, left this summer and the familiar attacking worries returned. But, once more, Brentford look to have it covered.
Step forward Igor Thiago.
The Brazilian, 24, has started the campaign in fine form with his double against Manchester United on Saturday taking his Premier League tally to four in six games, with another coming in the Carabao Cup.
Match of the Day pundit Alan Shearer told BBC Sport: "He barely played last season because of injury but he got his two goals in that half and that's what a striker is going to get judged for.
"He looks like he can fill the void left by Mbeumo and Wissa."
We asked for your thoughts after Brentford's convincing 3-1 win over Manchester United on Saturday afternoon.
Here are some of your comments:
Ian: A total reverse of last week against Fulham. The team in the first half were on the front foot. Thiago's goals will give him and the team confidence. A tactical selection playing Hickey at left-back, which countered Mbeumo's threat of cutting in from the right on his left foot. Kelleher's penalty save will give him confidence. The Gtech is not an easy place for visiting teams to play at, long may it continue.
Don: We were excellent. We stormed the first 20 to 25 minutes of the game but we also rode our luck as Man Utd had plenty of chances. The penalty save was both expected and decisive. We genuinely enjoyed seeing Bryan Mbeumo back - forever a Brentford legend - and seeing him lose. It's too bad he left for the wrong so-called 'bigger club'.
Bobby: As a supporter of 60 years, I'm very proud of them. Well done. Jordan Henderson might prove the signing of the season in helping the club stay in the Premier League. Bees on fire.
Rich: My first time seeing the Bees in person this season. We bossed most of the game and Man Utd didn't deserve anything from it, but it could have been 2-2 and us down to 10 men. Hickey, Kayode, Yarmoliuk and Keane Lewis-Potter all played with guts. The biggest celebration was the saved penalty. I hope the win and recent performances lift the team and the staff.

Chief football news reporter
Image source, Getty ImagesThis was another great day for 'little' Brentford and their 17,000 delirious fans at Gtech Community Stadium.
"You should have stayed at a big club" and "sacked in the morning" were the songs that echoed round this atmospheric stadium as they goaded Bryan Mbeumo, on his return to the club, and Ruben Amorim, who will not be coming back unless he can quickly find answers to his side's repeated failure to play to the potential created by their price tags.
Injury scuppered Igor Thiago's hopes of impressing in his first season at Brentford, but he is having a big impact now. Five goals in seven games in all competitions is in line with Mbeumo's 20-goal haul last season.
There can be few more deserving of success.
Thiago's development as a player in Brazil was stunted by the death of his father as a youngster, which led him into the world of work when he was only 13 years old.
Bricklaying, carrying fruit, working at fairs and general odd jobs were what he did to earn money for his family.
His status as a Premier League player probably means financial worries are a thing of the past, but that does not prevent anyone from feeling happy for him.
Brentford boss Keith Andrews spoke to BBC Match of the Day after his side beat Manchester United: "It was deserved. It was quite dramatic at times - penalties, VAR, the usual. But if you scrutinise the game, we were very good and we caused a lot of problems. You are always going to get a reaction, but we stuck to it. The substitutes did brilliantly. It was a deserved win"
On the penalty: "That's the nature of the game. It swings one way or the other, I've got no complaints about it."
On centre-forward Igor Thiago: "He is a top human being. He had to suffer last year because of being injured for a significant amount of time. I know what type of a person he is and his qualities as a footballer.
"We are building new relationships now. You can see that with the front three, they will get better and better. It was a different front-line last year, but this is one that has a lot of potential and a lot of ability. I'm really excited about it."
On Brentford's third goal: "It was a nice way to finish. We didn't want to sit back in the second half and just absorb pressure. We wanted to take the game to them at the right times and get the third goal. I didn't anticipate it would be so late in the game, but from that base we sprung out really well, counter-attacked really efficiently and it was a great finish."
On his managerial philosophy: "You always pick ideas from elsewhere. I'm a learner, I've studied a lot of teams, a lot of coaches and people that I've worked with - that is only natural. I'm not the finished product by any stretch of the imagination and I'm aware of that.
"What I am big on is playing to the players' strengths and what they can achieve to get results. I have been in the game a long time so I know what that takes and I try to emphasise that on a daily basis."
On what Brentford can achieve this season: "Progression. We want to build a new team. The next chapter is well underway. The narrative around the club has been a certain way, but I'm pretty calm about the situation."
Did you know?
Brentford have won four of their past six Premier League home games (D1 L1), having been without a win in their previous eight at Gtech Community Stadium (D3 L5).
Igor Thiago became just the second player to score twice in the opening 20 minutes of a Premier League match against Manchester United, after Alexis Sanchez for Arsenal in October 2015 (19 minutes).

Manchester United travel to Brentford aiming to win back-to-back league games for the first time under head coach Ruben Amorim. BBC Sport takes a look at some of the key themes before Saturday's lunchtime match.
Brentford continue to experience growing pains under rookie manager Keith Andews, with last weekend's 3-1 defeat at Fulham leaving them one point and one place above the relegation zone. They have already conceded 10 Premier League goals this term, which is the third highest total in the top flight and the most by the Bees at this stage of a league season since 2003.
After the loss at Craven Cottage, Andrews said his side need to improve their game management, pinpointing the concession of two quickfire goals before half-time as the turning point. He admitted lessons will have to be learned, adding: "It's a young squad and we need to analyse that period."
However, Brentford's inability to hang on to a lead is in danger of becoming an Achilles heel. They have dropped a league-high eight points from winning positions in the current campaign, scoring first in four of their five matches but winning only once.
With just four points on the board and 10 goals conceded, the Bees have made their worst start to a Premier League season. They will hope to kick-start their campaign with back-to-back home fixtures against the league's two Manchester clubs.
'Complicated' United back to winning ways
Manchester United rebounded from a sobering defeat against neighbours Manchester City by beating Chelsea 2-1 last weekend in a match both sides finished with 10 men. Casemiro's sending off in first-half injury time gave the Blues hope of a comeback and Amorim conceded afterwards his team need to stop making life needlessly "complicated".
While lapses of concentration are a recurring issue, Amorim can at least take heart from United's improved attacking displays.
The Red Devils have attempted 81 Premier League shots this term, more than any other side (Brentford rank last with 41). They average 16.2 shots per game in the current campaign, up from 13.9 under Amorim last season, while their expected goals figure has risen from 1.33 per game to 2.03.
However, supporters have yet to see the best of new striker Benjamin Sesko, who has had a quite start to life at Old Trafford following his £66.3m move from RB Leipzig. He has managed just one shot on target and eight touches in the opposition box in 205 minutes of Premier League action.
Brentford beat Manchester United 4-3 in this fixture last season, but that was a different Brentford - with Thomas Frank their manager and Bryan Mbeumo playing for them, not for United.
The Bees are a difficult team to predict now because Keith Andrews has had some mixed results since taking charge - they ended up being out-played by Fulham last week, but they are still unbeaten at home.
I am not sure what we will see from Ruben Amorim's side, either.
Robbie Savage was telling me on 606 that United have got the best xG (expected goals) in the Premier League, which suggests they have under-achieved so far.
I can see this being quite a tight game and while I didn't go for any draws at all last week - I got a bit complacent because I was finding it so easy to beat AI and decided I would pick a winner in every game - I am going to start with one this time.
Sutton's prediction: 1-1
Saffie Yates
BBC Sport journalist
Brentford boss Keith Andrews has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Manchester United at Gtech Community Stadium (kick-off 12:30).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
On Byran Mbeumo's return to the Gtech for the first time since leaving for United: "Bryan epitomises everything good about this football club. He was given time, patience and support, and I think the way it went last year was the culmination of that six-year journey where so many people in that building played a part in his development. I know for a fact he really appreciates that and he appreciates the fans. Bryan rightly should get a really good reception."
Andrews sid his players should have a voice on Brentford's gameplan: "I'm big into players having an opinion. I think it needs to come from that place where they are really involved in the process."
On facing United: "They're a very talented set of players and have a very defined way of playing the game that they know very well. They've added some quality players that will cause us a lot of problems if we don't do things correctly tomorrow."
He said changes to Saturday's opponents at the top end of the pitch will affect Brentford's approach: "What they've added in the summer - Bryan, [Matheus] Cunha, [Benjamin] Sesko - makes things look different to the way it did when we played them last season. The system might be similar, but personnel makes a big difference to a system."
When asked about Brentford appearing more confident at home than they do on the road, Andrews said: "I felt that the day before Fulham was probably the best training session I'd seen from the players in terms of confidence, the conviction and everything we did, the belief, the vibe and the energy around the training ground. So it's not something I've sensed. But I am looking forward to getting back on home soil tomorrow."
On changes happening within Brentford: "We are forming a new team. There's been a lot of change at the football club, myself included. We're making steps, and sometimes those steps aren't in the direction we want. I think you have to accept that. You have to understand that."
He wants to maintain a good environment for his team: "It's really important for me to maintain the type of environment that's been created here, where players can develop. We put internal pressure on ourselves. We don't particularly need the external pressure to fuel anything from within. I think there's that intrinsic motivation as an individual and all to be collectively, to be the best versions of ourselves. And that's not always going to be perfect."

Fan writer
Image source, Getty ImagesI have said all season that I will judge Keith Andrews' performance as Brentford manager after 10 Premier League games.
I will stick to that, but think that the display in Saturday's derby defeat and his game management let us down.
The Fulham fixtures are big for Bees fans and Andrews acknowledged that in the build-up.
However, we turned in another flat performance, created little - only scoring after a Cottagers mistake - and never looked like coming back into it.
When we went 3-1 down, our 5-3-2 formation was crying out for a change to a more attacking 4-3-3.
Why not at that stage, take off a centre-half, bring on record signing Dango Ouattara and in-form ex-Fulham attacker Fabio Carvalho and just go for it? I'd rather lose 4-1 than not try to rescue something.
Instead all the substitutions were like-for-like, which made no difference.
For the first time this season, there was some dissent from the stands, with chants of "Get Ouattara on" and "Andrews, Andrews sort it out" before any substitutions were made.
There was no booing from those of us who hung around until full-time - only applause - when Andrews and the players came over, but if displays and results like this continue, I fear that could change.
It has certainly not been all bad under Andrews. We beat Aston Villa and played well against Chelsea and against both Bournemouth and Villa in the Carabao Cup.
But having paid a reported £42m for Ouattara, surely he has to start games.
Three of our next four matches are at home... but they are against Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool.
The only away fixture is at West Ham - but it would be just our luck that if they make a managerial change, it will happen just before our visit so it becomes the new guy's first game.
And we know what that often means.

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Fulham and Brentford
Here are some of your comments:
Fulham fans
Marios: Fulham have become determined and hard to beat. They set the pace last night and Brentford were all over the place. What a squad Marco Silva has built - so much depth in every position.
John: Excellent all-round team effort. Josh King didn't let his error affect his performance - good to see his team-mates rally around him. Dealt well with all Brentford's long throws and set-pieces. Like watching Tony Pulis' Stoke - without the finesse. Harry Wilson did his usual Brentford thing with a lovely finish but the goal of the game should have been Rodrigo Muniz's. Even when we win, VAR has it in for us.
Luke: Two contrasting styles. Our emphasis seemed to be on playing out, getting on the ball and our offensive players making smart, penetrating runs. Brentford's was so focused on set-pieces but thankfully we dealt with them fairly well. Best team won.
David: I was very pleased and thought it a very dominant performance. Could have been even more convincing but for a goal being ruled offside by millimetres and one disallowed for an apparent foul, proving that in the eyes of today's officials, football is no longer a contact sport. Fulham will get much better.
Brentford fans
Les: Brentford have bought about their own destruction, by appointing a very inexperienced manager and not buying a replacement for Yoane Wissa as promised.
Brian: Hoofball didn't work. We needed four at the back in this game. The extra centre-half meant we played without wingers and Fulham pressed our wing-backs so that there was no footballing route towards our twin strikers, of which Kevin Schade would have been better employed in a front three. Record signing Dango Ouattara consigned to the bench? Really dire to watch, and if this continues I will start to get worried
David: The derby didn't quite deliver the quality football I was hoping for. Schade and Igor Thiago didn't seem to be on the same page, and we struggled to create opportunities from set-pieces. Keith Andrews needs to rethink his strategy, as the substitutions didn't effectively change the game or break down Fulham's defence.
Peter: Andrew flatters to deceive. We started with the wrong line-up and I think the board will have to bite the bullet sooner rather than later. In truth, in all our matches we have for the most part been outplayed.
