SWISS investigators haven’t been given any written contract regarding a £1.35 million payment made to Michel Platini by Fifa in 2011, it was reported yesterday.

The payment for work done nine years earlier — signed off by Fifa president Sepp Blatter — was apparently made solely on the basis of an oral agreement, according to the Press Association.

Uefa chief Platini did submit an invoice to Fifa in February 2011 and was paid 2m Swiss francs.

He has said that when he started as an adviser in 1999, Blatter informed him it was not possible to pay “the totality” of his salary because of Fifa’s financial state.

A written contract does exist covering three and a half years until 2002 for Platini to be paid 300,000 Swiss francs annually.

But no written contract has been produced which covers the 2011 payment.

Both men have been suspended by Fifa’s ethics committee.
