The Premier League can relegate Manchester City and what could happen with De Bruyne and Haaland

The English league's investigation into Manchester City remains ongoing. The team is being investigated for breaching more than 115 financial rules of the competition and this could have serious consequences. The citizen team is one of the most ambitious projects of the last decade and they have already managed to dominate in England and recently won their first UEFA Champions League. However, the consequences of becoming guilty include a possible demotion.

Mail has revealed that the Premier League will have a planned date to rule against Manchester City's 115 charges. There will be a trial expected in late Fall 2024, as well as the testimony of multiple witnesses in the process of being compiled. The verdict and sanction (if they are guilty) could be at the end of the 2024-2025 season.

“The Premier League and Manchester City have agreed on the date on which they will face an independent tribunal in what could be the most important trial in the history of the competition,” the publication read. It has been revealed that the date of the confrontation is initially scheduled for late autumn 2024. Those familiar with the situation believe that the conclusion may not occur until the end of the next season (2024-2025), which is when the current contract expires from Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola,” shared the Daily Mail.

What would happen with De Bruyne and Haaland?

If Manchester City loses its category due to the Premier League sanction, most of its pillars would leave the club. It should be remembered that some contracts usually include bonuses and conditions for participation in certain competitions that are not possible if the club is in the second division. Furthermore, it is unattractive for any athlete to be related to this case and remain on the team. However, both players have shown their support for the club and hope that everything is resolved favorably.
