Fifa boss Gianni Infantino denies claims Uefa paid off alleged 'lover' | BBC News

Fifa president Gianni Infantino's alleged lover received a six-figure severance payment from Uefa while he was the organisation's general secretary, according to a Daily Telegraph investigation.

The Telegraph reported that the woman had an alleged relationship with Infantino, who is married, during his time at European football's governing body.

A spokesman for Infantino said he "strongly denies these categorically untrue allegations".

The claims come as Infantino fights for his future as Fifa president following his abandoned plans to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors.
