Championship clubs have called on the Premier League to take action over Aston Villa next season.
The Daily Mail report that Villa, along with a number of other clubs, are currently being assessed over the EFL's profit and sustainability submissions, which is linked to Financial Fair Play.
In March, an independent panel concluded that Birmingham City should be given a nine-point deduction by the EFL after breaching FFP rules by making a loss of £48.8m over a three-year period.
The EFL are now in talks with the Premier League over taking a consistent approach to FFP issues should Villa be found in breach of rules - although the Premier League are said to be reluctant to hit any promoted club with a points deduction that would likely see them drop back into the Championship.
However, a number of Championship clubs have argued that, should the Premier League fail to issue a points deduction, then it delivers a weak message over clubs that break FFP rules.
It continues a debate that has raged around FFP in recent weeks.
Middlesbrough have reportedly issued a legal letter to Championship rivals Derby County after the Rams controversially sold their stadium to owner Mel Morris.
Morris bought the stadium for £80m, double the value of what Pride Park was listed as in the club's books, which Boro claim is a breach of FFP.
