The Premier League will not charge any clubs for breaching Profit and Sustainability rules last season.

The Times say however that Leicester are reportedly still at risk of getting a points deduction pending the outcome of their ongoing legal case with the Premier League.

Teams in the English top flight are allowed to lose £105m over three seasons or £35m in one campaign.

The Foxes however are currently in dispute with the league authorities as they claim the Premier League did not have jurisdiction over their finances in 2022/23 owing to them having been relegated to the Championship.

Leicester won their initial case against the Premier League in September but the league has appealed that initial decision with the case ongoing.

The Premier League said in a statement: “Issues as to the jurisdiction of the Premier League over Leicester City Football Club in relation to PSR compliance are currently the subject of confidential arbitration proceedings.

“Accordingly, neither the league nor the club will make any further comment at this stage about any aspect of the club’s compliance or otherwise with any of the PSR or related rules, save to say that no complaint has been brought against Leicester by the league for any breach of the PSRs for the period ending Season 2023-24.”

All other top-flight clubs have been declared to be compliant after submitting their 2023/24 accounts before the December 31 deadline however Leicester's case will likely drag on into the middle of 2025.

A number of Premier League clubs who might have been at risk of breaching PSR earlier in the year were involved in a series of interlocking transfers before June 30.

Chelsea signed Omari Kellyman for £19m from Aston Villa despite the 19-year-old having made just two Premier League appearances.

Chelsea youth product Ian Maatsen went the the other way for £37.5m.

Villa and Everton also did business with each other, with Lewis Dobbin moving to Villa Park and Tim Iroegbunam joining the Toffees, each for reported fees of about £9m.

Last season both Everton and Nottingham Forest incurred points deductions for breaching PSR in the 2022/23 season.
