Manchester City are reportedly already taking steps to prevent UEFA from banning the club from next season's UEFA Champions League.
City are under investigation by European football's governing body after accusations of circumventing financial fair play rules appeared in German publication Der Spiegel in 2018.
Being found guilty could result in a ban from Europe's top club tournament. The Premier League champions have responded by asking the Court of Arbitration for Sport to "throw out the case," per Rob Harris of the Associated Press.
