City have previously been fined by UEFA for breaching FFP regulations, and, according to The Times, the punishment for a second breach could be a ban from UEFA’s continental competition.Manchester City are claimed to be ‘deliberately flouting the regulations’, per The Sun, with a source saying: “You cant hit a club like City with a fine. It has to be something that hurts.”An independent investigation into the leaked documents was commissioned last month, and it is expected to recommend charges against City.Aleksander Ceferin, the UEFA president, confirmed that the investigation will be completed ‘very soon’.“We are assessing the situation,” he said. “Very soon we will have the answers on what will happen in this concrete case.” UEFA have previously punished clubs for breaching FFP, with Galatasaray banned from the Champions League for breaking the financial sanctions back in 2016.It is stated the Etihad Stadium club may take legal action against UEFA if they are hit with a sanction.
