Man City could ‘be forced’ to join European Super League with Barcelona, Real Madrid if suing Premier League fails

Man City could attempt to rejoin efforts to get a European Super League off the ground if their legal challenge against the Premier League fails, according to reports.

The Times reported that an arbitration hearing will start on Monday over a claim made by Premier League champions Man City against the top flight’s associated party transaction (APT) regulations.

If the action is successful, The Times says it could assist City in the defence of their case against 115 Premier League charges laid in February 2023, because some of the charges relate to alleged attempts to disguise owner funding as sponsorship in breach of league rules. Man City deny any wrongdoing.

And now the Daily Mail insist that Man City ‘may be forced to rejoin the European Super League if they are unsuccessful in their new legal dispute with the Premier League’.
