The Premier League club have also been fined £300,000 for allegedly tapping up two academy footballers, one of which said to be 11 years old
Manchester City have been fined £300,000 and banned from signing academy players for two years after being found guilty of tapping up two young footballers.
City now cannot sign youngsters aged between 10 and 18 who have been registered with Premier League or EFL clubs in the past 18 months. The second year of the ban is suspended for three years.
City have been hit with the sanction around a month after Liverpool were fined £200,000 and banned from signing young players for two years after it was ruled they had broken Premier League rules to sign an 11-year-old from Stoke City.
