The charges brought by the Premier League against Manchester City earlier this week could have a knock-on effect on the potential sale of Liverpool.
On Monday the Premier League took the unprecedented step of charging the current champions with more than 100 alleged breaches of the League's profit and sustainability rules relating to sponsorship deals, player and manager remuneration and co-operation with the four-year investigation itself.
Manchester City were banned from the Champions League for two years back in 2020 after a UEFA investigation found them guilty of Financial Fair Play breaches relating to sponsorship deals. That was overturned on appeal, however, as the club won their case at the Court of Arbitration for Sport in June of 2020 and were allowed to compete in European competition, having a £25m fine reduced to £9m.
