Manchester City have launched legal action against the Premier League alleging “discrimination” in a move that could have far-reaching consequences for the English top flight, The Times reported on Tuesday.The Times said the recently crowned champions would try to end the league’s associated party transaction rules, which they are understood to claim are unlawful, and seek damages.
The Times added the dispute between City and the Premier League would be settled after a two-week arbitration hearing starting next Monday. In a separate case City, managed by Pep Guardiola, are facing 115 Premier League charges for alleged breaches of regulations and financial rules between 2009 and 2023 — charges they strongly deny.APT rules are designed to keep the Premier League competitive, requiring clubs to prove that commercial deals represent fair market value.
If City are successful in their legal fight, it could enable the richest clubs to value their sponsorship deals without independent assessment, further widening the financial gulf within the English top flight.
