Summary
UEFA is considering opening an investigation into Gianni Infantino’s conduct during his time as the body’s general secretary, according to the Sunday Telegraph.
The move follows the paper’s report that a woman received a six-figure payment after an alleged affair with Infantino before he became FIFA president.
Infantino’s spokesman told the Telegraph he strongly denies the allegations, calling them categorically untrue.
Any UEFA inquiry would focus on Infantino’s tenure at European football’s governing body, potentially adding scrutiny to the FIFA president over alleged past conduct.
