Fifa president Sepp Blatter is worried that the Premier League's worldwide appeal is damaging the global game.
"I have my concerns because the Premier League is the strongest in the world, definitely," he told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"It is taking over in such a manner that the other leagues have difficulties to match it."
Blatter also believes that the England's top flight has an unhealthy imbalance of power, with only a handful of clubs contesting the title.
"In a competition where two-thirds or three-quarters of the participants in the league play not to be first, but not to be relegated, there is something wrong," he added.
