European football’s governing body UEFA has confirmed that Manchester City are not under investigation for Financial Fair Play infringements.
UEFA were forced to issue a clarification after La Liga president Javier Tebas alleged that City’s “funding by state-aid distorts European competitions and creates an inflationary spiral that is irreparably harming the football industry”.
La Liga confirmed earlier that it had lodged a formal complaint against City. But UEFA dispelled the charges by issuing a statement on Monday.
“There is no investigation into Manchester City with regards to FFP regulations. Any reports mentioning such an investigation are unsubstantiated,” confirmed UEFA.
