Both clubs might be thinking of joining other top European outfits for the European Premier League scheduled to kick off in 2022.
The world football governing body already has about $6 billion [£4.6 billion] fund to start up the project two years from now.
Sky Sports further reports that clubs from the top five European Leagues [England, France, Germany, Italy, Spain] are negotiating to be among the founding members.
The new competitions will comprise 18 teams and it will take place during regular seasons but during the week. Reports further stated that the teams who finish at the top of the table will then take part in a knockout tournament to determine the winner.
