Manchester City are facing punishment after it was revealed the Premier League side are among a group of European clubs found to be in breach of financial fair play rules.

It’s understood the clubs found to be in violation of the regulations, thought to be fewer than 20 in total
including City and French champions Paris Saint-Germain, have been offered settlements from UEFA's club financial control board.

The offer of the sanctions – which could range from a reprimand, to a fine, up to restrictions on the squad
for European competition next season – can either be accepted by the clubs or negotiated for a lesser
punishment, with thier fate set to be decided in a meeting on Thursday.

It is not known what settlements each individual club has been offered, though the most powerful sanction of exclusion from European competition is not
expected to be used against any of the clubs.

If no agreement is reached, then the outstanding cases will go to an adjudicatory panel for a final decision, while UEFA could reveal the outcomes as early as Friday.

City boss Manuel Pellegrini insisted last week that there has never been any concern that the club would be kicked out of the Champions League for breaching
the rules.

The club have been working closely with UEFA to try to ensure they comply with spending rules, which limit losses to €45million over the last two years.

Pellegrini said: "I felt here inside the club nobody feared we could be suspended for next year." Claim a £25 FREE matched bet at William Hil.
