Manchester City ignores its guilt and spends over €500 million

In Manchester City’s offices, the executives have signed the first contracts of their new transfer window while the club, playing in the Premier League, had already been found guilty of 114 offences out of 115, a verdict known since Friday and confirmed this Tuesday.

A transfer window of more than €500 million

The Skyblues, the club’s nickname, had been aware of the verdict since July, which explains the lack of surprise when it published the news. This early knowledge did not curb their spending ambitions.

Manchester City plans to invest in a brand‑new midfield, targeting Elliot Anderson, Enzo Fernández and Ayyoub Bouaddi. These players are among the club’s priorities to strengthen the squad.

The club also considers selling Iliman Ndiaye, a deal that would complete this ambitious transfer window. It did not specify whether the players were aware of the verdict before signing.

The importance of reading the fine print at the bottom of the contract was emphasized, reminding that clauses can contain penalties related to the offences. Any omission could cost the management dearly.

The reader could react, a comment having been posted on the platform. The debates around the decision continue online.

This situation highlights the need for financial transparency in English football. It reminds that clubs can continue large investments despite sanctions.
