However, City were not handed a transfer ban for the infringement.

Premier League rivals Chelsea were given a one-year transfer ban and fined 600,000 Swiss francs in February in relation to 29 cases where regulations relating to the international transfer and registration of Under-18 players were breached.

City are facing other investigations from FIFA and UEFA regarding financial fair play.
