Manchester City currently find themselves in hot water after being charged by the Premier League - which could scupper their transfer business this summer.
The Premier League champions have been charged with more than 100 financial breaches and now await their punishment. City have maintained their "surprise" at the decision, but have been hit with a notable backlash that could hamper their plans over the coming months.
The wealth of their Abu Dhabi owners has allowed them to build an impressive squad and be incredibly competitive in the market. They had their eyes on four major names this summer ahead of a possible rebuild, but the Times understands those players have concerns over moving to the Etihad.
