Two Fifa officials are alleged to have offered to sell their votes in the contest to host the 2018 World Cup, according to a Sunday Times report.
The newspaper claims Nigerian Amos Adamu, a Fifa executive committee member, asked for £500,000 for a "personal project", against Fifa rules.
And Oceania Football Confederation president Reynald Temarii, wanted money for a sports academy for his vote.
Fifa will decide the hosts of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups on 2 December.
England are competing to host the tournament in eight years time, as well as Russia and joint bids from Spain and Portugal and Holland and Belgium.
A 24-strong committee will decide by secret ballot who should host the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
