“The Investigatory Chamber of the independent UEFA Club Financial Control Body has today opened a formal investigation into Manchester City FC for potential breaches of Financial Fair Play regulations. The investigation will focus on several alleged violations of FFP, ” according to a statement from UEFA.

The Football Association is looking into claims  Man City made a banned £200,000 payment to Jadon Sancho’s agent when the England winger was 14 years old.
