Guardiola’s Manchester City could be hit with transfer ban for alleged illegal transfers

According to a report in Gazetta World, the club could be in trouble for buying Maltese youngster Myles Beerman, who officially joined the club in 2014 when he was just 15. However, according to FIFA’s disciplinary committee, Beerman joined the Premier League side from Floriana FC (in Malta) two years prior when he was 13, which is under the legal transfer age.

Beerman is currently playing in the Manchester City academy team.

FIFA have formally asked Floriana and the Maltese football federation to obtain all documentation of the player’s time at the Maltese club from 2012 to 2014.
