A number of Premier League clubs are seeking legal advice on whether they could pursue compensation claims linked to the long-running case involving 115 charges brought against Manchester City, the BBC reported.
The charges against Manchester City, brought by the Premier League, relate to alleged breaches of the league's financial rules covering multiple seasons. The case has been one of the most significant regulatory matters in English football in recent years, given the scale of the allegations and City's standing as one of the league's most successful clubs.
Clubs exploring legal advice are understood to be examining whether alleged financial rule breaches could have affected competitive outcomes, such as league standings, prize money or relegation and promotion decisions, in ways that might support a compensation claim.
The BBC's report did not name the specific clubs seeking advice or detail the legal basis being explored. Any compensation claims would likely depend heavily on the outcome of the underlying charges case, which has yet to be fully resolved.
The Premier League and Manchester City have not commented publicly, according to the report, on the prospect of compensation claims from other clubs.
