A "significant proportion" of a £65m would have to be paid back by Burnley if they are relegated from the Premier League.
The Clarets, who are in the relegation zone, would be forced to pay up at the end of the season if they drop into the Championship.
The loan was taken out as part of Burnley's takeover by ALK Capital in December 2020.

Should they be relegated then the repayment schedule is brought forward with a significant proportion falling due for payment shortly after the season in which the relegation occurs.
