Manchester City face the prospect of a severe punishment over alleged breaches of the Premier League’s financial regulations, with complete exclusion from professional football among the possible sanctions.

The potential outcome was reported by journalist Ben Jacobs on his YouTube channel. No final punishment has been stated in the source.

A commission has found Manchester City guilty of breaching the rules in 114 of 115 charges brought against the club.

Manchester City currently sit top of the Premier League table. Their next fixture is an away match against Liverpool.

The case concerns the club’s compliance with the league’s financial regulations. Any decision to remove Manchester City from professional football would represent the most serious possible consequence mentioned in relation to the proceedings.

Andrei Kanchelski has also been linked to the case after suggesting that stripping Manchester City of their trophies would be the wrong punishment.

Former Manchester United and Russia international Andrey Kanchelskis has said it would be wrong to strip Manchester City of their trophies if the club are punished for alleged breaches of financial regulations.

“Taking trophies away is wrong,” Kanchelskis said while commenting on the latest developments involving the Premier League club.

Manchester City face serious sanctions after being found guilty of 114 of 115 alleged financial-rule violations. The case has attracted significant attention because of the potential consequences for the club.

Kanchelskis proposed punishment for Manchester City but argued that removing trophies would not be the correct measure. No further details of his suggested sanction were provided.

In the current English Premier League season, Manchester City are top of the table with 15 points. Enzo Maresca’s side are three points clear of their nearest challengers.

Michael Olise is expected to decide his future next year, with Real Madrid and Liverpool interested in signing the France and Bayern Munich attacking midfielder, according to insider Ekrem Konur on social media.

Both European clubs want to take the highly rated winger from Bayern Munich, while the German champions are preparing to offer Olise a new contract in an effort to retain one of their key players.

Olise’s current agreement with Bayern Munich runs until the end of June 2029. His market value is estimated at 170 million euros.

The France international has made four Bundesliga appearances this season and scored four goals.

Monaco midfielder Mamadou Coulibaly is being monitored by Atletico Madrid, Napoli, Newcastle and Brentford, according to football insider Ekrem Konur.

The 22-year-old France midfielder has attracted interest from several European clubs, with the information reported by Konur on social media.

Coulibaly is currently valued at €20m by Transfermarkt. His contract with Monaco runs until the end of June 2028.

He has made three appearances in the current Ligue 1 season without registering a goal or assist.

Real Madrid defender Raul Asencio received three major offers last summer, including one from Liverpool, according to transfer insider Ekrem Konur on social media.

Chelsea were also interested in signing the 23-year-old Spain international, while a financially strong Turkish club was the third side reported to have made an approach.

Asencio could leave Real Madrid after falling behind other defenders in the competition for a regular place in the team.

The defender’s current contract at the Spanish club runs until the end of June 2031. His estimated transfer value is 20m euros.

Arsenal forward Viktor Gyokeres has admitted he is disappointed with his current situation at the club and wants more playing time.

The Sweden international has started only two matches for the Gunners this season. His Premier League involvement has been limited to two substitute appearances, and the 28-year-old has yet to score.

“I want to play more,” Gyokeres said.

Gyokeres joined Arsenal from Sporting in Lisbon in the summer of 2025 for almost €67m.

Tottenham are prepared to sell Richarlison during the January transfer window for a reduced fee, with the Brazil forward valued at about £15m-£20m.

The figure, equivalent to €17.5m-€23.3m, has been reported by Football Insider. Richarlison could have left Tottenham for Everton in the summer, when the proposed deal was worth £35m (almost €41m), but the transfer did not go through.

Tottenham have since left the 29-year-old out of their squad for Premier League matches. He is now expected to leave the club during the current campaign, with a move in January appearing increasingly likely.

Transfermarkt experts value Richarlison at €25m. His current contract with Tottenham expires next summer.

Real Madrid are among the leading potential suitors for Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister should the Argentina international remain without a new contract at Anfield.

The Spanish club are monitoring the 27-year-old’s situation, with his long-term future at Liverpool currently unresolved.

Mac Allister’s existing deal runs until the middle of 2028. However, the midfielder recently admitted he was disappointed that there had been no progress over an extension.

Transfer News Live, citing Football Insider, reports that Real Madrid would be one of the main contenders to sign Mac Allister if Liverpool are unable to renew his contract.

The player’s estimated market value is 70m euros, according to Transfermarkt.

Manchester City defender Rayan Ait-Nouri has been removed from the Algeria squad by new manager Brahim Hemdani following an incident that caused tension within the team.

The Algerian Football Federation announced the decision but did not give a reason for the defender’s departure.

Unofficial reports say the dispute followed Algeria’s 3-1 victory over Zambia. Ait-Nouri reportedly went out to warm up several times during the match but was never brought on.

After the final whistle, the defender is said to have voiced his disappointment in undiplomatic terms. His comments eventually reached Hemdani, who reportedly believed they undermined his authority.

The manager then decided to dismiss Ait-Nouri from the national team.

It is not yet clear whether the defender will return to the Algeria squad in the near future, according to derbyderbyderby.it.

Julian Ward is returning to Liverpool as the club’s new sporting director, replacing Richard Hughes in the role.

The 45-year-old will work closely with manager Andoni Iraola after agreeing to return to the club.

Ward first joined Liverpool in 2012, moving from Manchester City. He initially worked as a scout before being promoted to deputy sporting director in 2020.

He received another promotion in 2022, but left Liverpool a year later to join Brighton. He will now return to the club and take over from Hughes.

Thierry Henry believes Manchester City deserve the most severe punishment after being found guilty of 114 of 115 charges brought by the Premier League.

The allegations relate to the period between 2009 and 2018, during which Manchester City won the league title three times.

Henry, the former Arsenal and France striker, says the club should face the strongest available sanction following the verdict.

Manchester City intend to appeal the decision. The club has 14 days from the date of the official ruling to submit its appeal.

England manager Thomas Tuchel has commented on the latest developments involving Manchester City and the possible consequences for the national team.

The issue comes after England began their Nations League group-stage campaign with a 3-2 defeat by Spain at Wembley on Saturday.

Brentford have opened talks with winger Kevin Schade over a possible contract extension, according to Sky Sports News.

The discussions come as several leading Premier League clubs show strong interest in the 24-year-old Germany international. Arsenal have previously been reported to be targeting Schade, while Liverpool are now also understood to be involved in the race.

Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea are monitoring the situation, leaving Brentford facing competition for one of their key attacking players.

Schade has started the new season in good form, scoring three goals in six appearances in the Premier League and EFL Cup.

His current contract with Brentford runs until 2028, but the club are seeking fresh terms as interest in the winger grows.

Erling Haaland would not be able to leave Manchester City unilaterally if the club were sent to the Championship, according to Diario SPORT.

Reports had claimed the Norway striker had decided to depart if Manchester City were expelled from the Premier League over alleged financial irregularities.

However, Haaland’s contract does not contain a clause allowing him to terminate the agreement independently if the club were removed from the Premier League. Any decision over the 26-year-old’s future would therefore rest with Manchester City’s management.

Haaland has made seven appearances in all competitions this season and has scored seven goals.

His current contract with the club runs until 2034.

Another leading club is reportedly interested in signing Haaland, although no further details have been provided.

Barcelona are interested in Atletico Madrid and Spain defender Marcos Llorente, according to journalist Ekrem Konur.

Llorente’s transfer value is estimated at 20m euros. He has been with Atletico since the summer of 2019.

Liverpool have been unable to open talks over a possible summer move for Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise, according to TEAMtalk.

The Premier League club made an enquiry about the 24-year-old, but neither Bayern Munich nor Olise were willing to discuss a transfer, the report says.

Olise is understood to have no desire to return to England. Should he leave Bayern Munich in the future, the France international would prefer a move to La Liga.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are aware of the situation, according to the report, although no transfer has been suggested as imminent.

Olise joined Bayern Munich after establishing himself in English football, but is reportedly not considering a return to the Premier League. Liverpool’s interest has therefore failed to develop into negotiations with either the player or his club.

The winger has made seven appearances for Bayern Munich in all competitions this season, scoring eight goals and providing four assists.

His current market value is estimated at €170m by Transfermarkt.

Real Madrid full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold could be set for a return to England, with Arsenal reportedly monitoring the 27-year-old defender.

Insider Ekrem Konur reported the interest on social media, saying the current Premier League champions are considering the England international as they look for defensive reinforcements.

Arsenal are assessing options on the flank because of injuries affecting Ben White. A move to north London would see Alexander-Arnold return to the Premier League after leaving Liverpool for Real Madrid.

Previous reports have suggested Liverpool would also like to bring their former player back to Anfield.

Alexander-Arnold is valued at €60m. His current contract with Real Madrid runs until the end of June 2031.
