The United Arab Emirates has reportedly warned the UK government that it could cancel significant investments in the country following a guilty verdict against Manchester City by an independent commission, according to the Guardian, citing Bloomberg.
Emirati officials were quoted as saying that "the Premier League's actions" would "have an influence on the bilateral state relationship" between the UAE and the UK.
Potential economic stakes
The report does not specify the scale or nature of the UK investments that could be affected, nor does it detail the exact findings or charges involved in the Manchester City case.
Manchester City has ties to Abu Dhabi ownership, and the club's financial relationship with the UAE has long been a subject of scrutiny in English football.
The Guardian's report does not indicate whether UK officials have responded publicly to the reported warning, or whether any formal diplomatic communication has taken place as a result.
