UEFA are to announce a licensing scheme for clubs today but the proposals do not include a Europe-wide salary cap.
The scheme aimed at ensuring that clubs are financially stable and well run, with most top sides spending more than 80 per cent of their turnover on wages.
Some members of European football's governing body believe a form of wage cap should be introduced but the licensing scheme will not include this.
This issue of salary caps has become a talking point all over Europe, and the English FA is expected to instigate a review of the regulations governing the game in England that will include an assessment of players' wages.
FA chief executive Adam Crozier said: "There's no doubt that the high level of wages is a big issue for everyone. For some clubs wage bills can be more than 100 per cent of their total income and that's not a healthy state for the game to be in.
"The issue of wages is a very important one that needs to be addressed. How it is best to do that needs to be looked at and we will do that over the next year or couple of years," he said.
