Manchester City have been reported to FIFA by Velez Sarsfield over the alleged "trafficking" of a youngster they signed.
City signed Benjamin Garre from Velez in July after he turned 16, beating off competition from Manchester United and Barcelona.
However, according to Argentine side Velez, City tried to sign Garre while he was 15 -- a move they claim breached FIFA's rules on the transfer of minors. FIFA has strict rules in place to help prevent clubs signing players under the age of 18 from outside the European Union to prevent the exploitation of minors.
"Never have I experienced such an immoral act," Velez president Raul Gamez is quoted as saying by the Daily Telegraph.
