Paris Saint-Germain will discover whether they face any UEFA punishment over transfer spending before the start of next season, according to Sky Sports News sources.
European football's governing body opened a financial investigation in September after the club's spending in this summer's transfer window.
The inquiry is focusing on the "compliance of the club with the break-even requirement".
UEFA representatives have met PSG officials since opening an investigation and it is understood the French club are fully cooperating with the probe.
In August, PSG completed the world-record transfer of Neymar, worth around £196m [222m Euro], and a season-long loan for Kylian Mbappe from Monaco on the last day of the window.
Sky Sports News understands PSG have an obligation to buy Mbappe for around £159m [180m Euro] next summer.
It is understood the overall deal to sign Neymar from Barcelona was worth more than £430m [500m Euro], including the buyout clause, wages and bonuses.
Neymar told Sky Sports News his transfer had not been motivated by money.
"We will be very transparent with Financial Fair Play," said Nasser Al-Khelaifi, PSG president, in August. "I have a strong team with me. If you are thinking about it, go have a coffee and don't worry about it.
"We have been very transparent since day one on Financial Fair Play. We are working under the regulations."
