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."

Image source, Getty ImagesIt was a shock this week when Bayern Munich board member and legendary former player Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said Newcastle were "idiots" for parting with £69m for Nick Woltemade.
Was he simply sending a barb out of bitterness at missing out on the striker, or commenting out of frustration that the riches of the Premier League are ramping up the prices of emerging talent?
Rummenigge, a former star forward for Germany who is a supervisory board member at Bayern, considered Stuttgart's demands too high for a player who was playing third-tier football just two years ago with SV Elversberg.
Rummenigge said during an interview with Blickpunkt Sport: "I can only congratulate those in Stuttgart for finding - I'll use quotation marks here - an idiot who paid that much money. Because we certainly wouldn't have done that in Munich."
Image source, Getty ImagesWhat is Woltemade's value?
The bottom line, like anything, is what someone is willing to pay.
So Woltemade is worth what Newcastle paid for him: £69m.
Woltemade's last valuation €30m (£26.1m) was at the start of June.
What happened next? He had a breakout few months.
His last Transfermarkt valuation came a day after winning his first senior cap with Germany.
He then spearheaded Germany's front line at the Under-21 Euros, winning the Golden Boot and being named in the team of the tournament.
Undoubtedly that would add to his value, but would those exploits add £43m?
Image source, Getty ImagesRe-sale value?
While £69m for a player who had played just 69 top-flight matches prior to this season is a lot of money, there is an element of long-term thinking with the signing of Woltemade.
At 23, the player's best years should be very much ahead of him. The man he has replaced this summer, Alexander Isak, is a good blueprint for what Newcastle will hope for from the German.
"Woltemade at Newcastle, they could end up making money on him, because I think they've got him at a good price," said former Crystal Palace striker Clinton Morrison.
"He's a young age, and I think he can be good in the next three or four years where they can make good money on him."

Newcastle off the mark in Champions League with convincing win over Union SG
We asked for your thoughts after Wednesday's game between Newcastle and Union Saint-Gilloise, which saw Eddie Howe's side take home their first Champions League win of the season.
Here are some of your comments:
Richard: We did to Union SG what other experienced Champions League teams have done to us in past seasons. They had a lot of passion and enthusiasm and big confidence. But we were cold, man! We were ruthless and relentless and just took them to pieces. This was the best, most controlled and dominant Champions League game because we were never in danger and we looked like veterans to USGs naïve newcomers. We have arrived!
Andy: A very solid performance with the players performing as a team and there was a real purposeful intent to win the game. More like this please as we move forward.
Seb: A win was essential but that stomp was a statement. We've got plenty of work to do so it's fantastic to see some pay off for the work that's already gone into the new squad. [Nick] Woltemade, [Anthony] Elanga and [Malick] Thiaw looked exceptional out there and things have started gelling really well so I can't wait until we have [Jacob] Ramsey and [Yoane] Wissa to take it even further.
Neil: Well, what I learned from the game was Newcastle United can score and control the game, something that was lacking in the league games for a full 90+ minutes.
Marcus: We needed this. A rock solid display from everyone including the coaches and subs. It all seemed to gel with a shift around at the back and two pacey wingers drifting in and out of the box, and even swapping wings. Woltemade showed some quality touches as well as the goal [I'm pretty sure he was trying to jump out of the way when it hit his foot] but we'll take that. In the end, quite comfortable and enjoyable to watch. At last.
Kelvin: Best performance of the season so far! Howay the lads!
Image source, Getty ImagesBBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily pundits Matthew Upson and Chris Sutton believes Newcastle four-goal haul in the Champions League will instill confidence in their attack in the Premier League.
In the aftermath of Alexander Isak's protracted exit over the summer, the Magpies have scored just four times in their opening six games.
However, a front three consisting of new signings Nick Woltemade and Anthony Elanga alongside Anthony Gordon started together for the first time on Wednesday and blew Union Saint-Gilloise away in Belgium.
"I think it's huge - especially coming away from home in the Champions League," said former Premier League striker Sutton.
"I'm very pleased for Woltemade. Coming into that role given the rumblings and surroundings over the summer was very difficult. To come in and score some goals and be a focal point early like he has been has been a really big boost for Newcastle.
"There's a lot of positives."
Former Arsenal defender Upson added: "It's big for them.
"We all know what happened in the summer and they've struggled for goals in the Premier League but there are encouraging signs. I thought it would be a tricky game but I was proven wrong.
"Union Saint-Gilloise have proven themselves to be a well organised outfit but to win as emphatically as Newcastle did will do them the world of good."
Image source, Getty ImagesNewcastle boss Eddie Howe speaking to the media after Wednesday's dominant Champions League win at Union Saint-Gilloise:
"Travelling out here, this was what we wanted - especially after the Arsenal ending. It was a big response from the players because it was a painful way to lose that game.
"The players had to dig deep, look within themselves and come out fighting again. That's what we do best. I thought it was a really good display.
"It was always going to be a tough game but I think as soon as we got that first goal it settled us down and we played really well.
"There was certainly some good bits from the front three. There a feeling we could score at any moment in the game. Two of the goals have come from penalties but we've scored four away from home. We couldn't have asked for any more and there were some good individual performances, which is good to see.
"I thought we attacked well and defended well. Any time you get a clean sheet in the Champions League away from home, it is a good statement to make.
"Hopefully it helps us when we return to the Premier League because we've been waiting for a performance like that. It wasn't perfect - there are things we can improve - but it was a big step in the right direction and in an important stage in the Champions League because we have to start well."

Why 'brilliant' Elanga was Newcastle's best player against Union SG
You would not have known Newcastle United were the Premier League's joint-lowest goalscorers. Not by the manner in which the ruthless visitors took Union apart on Wednesday night.
No wonder those Newcastle supporters in the away end repeatedly sang about how they did not want to go home after seeing their side finally click in the attacking third.
This was the first game in which Nick Woltemade, Anthony Elanga and Anthony Gordon have started together and the trio quickly caused Union problems.
Elanga, who had a hand in both of Newcastle's opening goals, tormented Fedde Leysen with his lightning pace.
Gordon is hardly a slouch, either, and the forward looks at home on this stage having already opened the scoring against Barcelona in Newcastle's opening Champions League fixture last month.
Rather than shying away, the Englishman embraced the responsibility of taking both of Newcastle's penalties.
He even had a role in Newcastle's fourth goal after winning the ball inside his own penalty area and playing a smart pass forward to William Osula, who teed up fellow substitute Barnes following a rapid breakaway.
And what about Woltemade?
Newcastle were called "idiots" by Bayern Munich supervisory board member Karl-Heinz Rummenigge for spending £69m on the German, but he popped up with his third goal in just four starts at Lotto Park.
Woltemade's opener on Wednesday night was not exactly one for the highlight reel, but he has already shown innate ability to score typical 'number nine' goals by being in the right place at the right time inside the box in the opening weeks of his Newcastle career.
Sterner tests lie in wait in the weeks and months ahead as Newcastle look to qualify for the last 16, but this felt like a significant victory. In more ways than one.
Image source, Getty ImagesNewcastle United winger Anthony Elanga spoke to BBC Radio Newcastle after a dominant 4-0 win at Union Saint-Gilloise in the Champions League: "I'm really pleased with the performance. We owed it to the fans because we haven't had the best start to the season, but I think this will help us build momentum.
"We then need to keep that going and let the football do the talking.
"We played a good game from top to bottom. We need to build on this and carry it on in the Premier League, cup games and Champions League.
"It is important that we keep scoring goals the way that we did [tonight] and have that fluidity."

There will also be a Champions League Match of the Day on BBC One on Wednesday, from 22:40 to 00:00.
Image source, Getty ImagesTino Livramento is expected to be out for six to eight weeks after being stretchered off in Newcastle's Premier League defeat against Arsenal.
The England full-back landed awkwardly after jumping for a header with Arsenal defender William Saliba late in the game.
The 22-year-old previously suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury during his time at Southampton, in 2022, and Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe said it was "really distressing" to see him carried off.
It is understood the injury is not as bad as first feared but Newcastle, as a result, are a little light at left-back, where Livramento has played the majority of his football this season.
So, Newcastle fans, how big of a blow is this news? Who should fill in for the 22-year-old? Get in touch with your views here

Image source, Getty ImagesEddie Howe was certainly not nursing a hangover following the dramatic defeat against Arsenal.
The Newcastle United head coach was so eager to get started that he even arrived into the media suite a minute early for his news conference ahead of Wednesday's match versus Union Saint-Gilloise.
Rather than sensing an adverse reaction to the weekend sucker punch, Howe instead said it should be a motivator for his side to "come back stronger" - and it needs to be.
Union may be Champions League debutants, but Newcastle cannot afford to just turn up against the Belgian champions, who beat PSV convincingly in their first ever game in the competition earlier this month.
And there was no danger of Howe and his staff underestimating Union following a quick turnaround from the weekend.
As well as personally reviewing his opponent, as always, Howe has familiarised his side with their new surroundings by training at Lotto Park on the eve of the game.
Howe did not always feel the need to do so when Newcastle last sat at Europe's top table a couple of years ago.
But this trip to Brussels feels significant as Newcastle look to rediscover some momentum and get their European campaign up and running.
Joelinton needed no reminding of that.
"We always learn in every game, every competition we play, every experience we have," the midfielder said. "We always try to learn something in defeats and in wins.
"I think the team has moved forward. Two years ago, I think we are a better team now.
"This season has not started the way we want, but we know the quality we have in our team. We have the confidence and we have experienced players to turn it on and I hope we can start tomorrow."

BBC Sport journalist
Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has been speaking to the media before Wednesday's Champions League game against Union Saint-Gilloise at Lotto Park (kick-off 17:45 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Howe is still waiting to find out the extent of Tino Livramento's injury so said he is "better off waiting before giving any indication on that because that could be a mistake".
The rest of the squad is "in a pretty good place" and a decision will be made on the starting XI after training on Tuesday.
He said the game against Arsenal was "physical" and required "a big output" so they want to make sure they have a "fresh" team. Howe added that the defeat "should be a motivator, not a hangover" after missing out "on a big point" in the closing stages of the game.
On choosing to travel to Belgium on Tuesday to train: "We felt that getting to know our surroundings was important. It will be an important session for us today with the pitch and stadium. We've got here early, we feel settled and the journey time was minimal."
The head coach said that the game being played in a neutral stadium "doesn't change much" as "it will be a very home based crowd."
On the opponents: "They have started the season very strongly. Tactically they are interesting and they have two big strikers. I've been very impressed. It's going to be a tough one."
He said Sven Botman and Dan Burn are both "outstanding" and have "different qualities" so he is "comfortable" that they will both be needed along the back line in different positions this season.

Image source, Getty ImagesI suppose at some point we are going to have to win another Premier League game. For a little while this weekend against Arsenal, it looked like we might. Then it looked like we might get a point. Then we lost.
Well, it's Arsenal, isn't it? They are a very good side! And we managed to hold them up for a good percentage of the game.
Newcastle's issues came with injuries and substitutions, which slowed us down. For all that I have been excited by squad depth and summer strengthening, we are still some way behind some of the more elite teams in terms of influencing the game from the bench.
We saw every side of Nick Pope in the game. It is rare I discuss the goalkeeper even though they are often my favourite player - but it is hard to look past his performance on Sunday.
In the first half, Pope was at his giant best and denied a couple of huge opportunities for Arsenal. In the second half - admittedly after we made some defensive substitutions - he was not able to contain them. You could see the frustration all over his face. And every other face in St James' Park.
I have a feeling draws and losses at this stage in the season may come back to haunt us as it draws to a close, but at the moment it is not something I'm going to get too upset about.
We have so far played three of last season's top six; teams who spent their summers further strengthening their squads.
We have not found a groove or built much momentum, but we usually do have those moments under Eddie Howe and so I have to believe we will again.
Let's see how the next week pans out before panicking.
