AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin said on Tuesday the Financial Fair Play (FFP) system is likely to be changed but refused to be drawn on the two-year ban facing Manchester City.

City are appealing to the Lausanne-based Court of Arbitration for Sport against the verdict of UEFA's Club Financial Control Body which found they had committed"serious breaches" of the FFP rules.

While the system was created to stop clubs going into debt, critics believe it may have created a closed 'elite' and Ceferin said change was on the agenda. "I have not spoken with any of the members before or after and didn’t see the case, before or after. As much as I’ve seen now, Manchester City have gone to CAS and let’s wait for the decision," he said.

"For some administrators it’s a problem if you have an independent body. For me it’s a privilege," added Ceferin.
