[Saba Sports News] English media reports indicate that
Manchester City, the Premier League team, have recently been reported by a law
firm claiming to represent Ukrainian activists. The law firm alleges that the
club’s owner, Mansour, and Russian businessmen have transferred wealth to the
United Arab Emirates. They have reached out to relevant authorities, urging
them to conduct an investigation into Manchester City. However, the law firm
has not presented substantial evidence to support their claims, relying mainly
on publicly available information. If the authorities decide to intervene in
the investigation and it is subsequently proven that Mansour is indeed involved
in the wealth transfer, he may face a situation similar to other club owners,
such as Roman Abramovich, where he would be required to relinquish control of
the club.
