Aymeric Laporte has remembered how Man City responded to accusations of breaching financial fair play regulations

Former Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte has recalled how the club reacted to accusations of breaching financial fair play (FFP) regulations.

‘When I was there and the news broke, the sporting director (Txiki Begiristain) and the CEO (Ferran Soriano) came and told all the players and staff that we can all be very calm because not one rule has been broken by Man City,’ the defender told Mail Sport.

‘Like Pep Guardiola always says, if something wrong has been done, they will have to pay for it.’

City were charged in February 2023 after a four-year investigation and face a trial that could shake the sport to its foundations.
