La Liga president Javier Tebas says he has reported Manchester City to the European Commission for alleged breaches of rules relating to state-owned companies.
Tebas - a long-standing critic of City - told media at the FT Business of Football Summit that the complaint was made in 2023.
He said he believed the case was currently in an "investigation phase" by the European Commission - the executive body of the European Union which develops and enforces laws for its member states.
Tebas said that the complaint centres on his belief that "City have a structure that circumvents the rules" including a group of companies in the United Arab Emirates outside the City Football Group.
