City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak on ‘the charges’…
“Let me be as consistent as I’ve always been – until we have a ruling, I can’t say much.
“Once we have a ruling, believe me, Chris, we’re going to have a wonderful sit down together and I'll say everything I've wanted to say for the last three years.”

Florentino Perez claims he is making a bid next week for a player who could cost £130m, but he plays for a UCL team, which would rule out Enzo F. (@MadridXtra)
@passevertical Interesting, this made me think of all the best afcon and african teams in WC and their best players, Mahrez, Drogba, Gyan, Salah, Mane..the only outlier in the recent years being Morocco with Hakimi maybe
@shawnumo I think he’ll try everything to not do the work on the other side of the pitch and centrally up top is where he can hide the best in that regards
Newcastle’s Sandro Tonali is emerging as strong option for #ManCity if they cannot do a deal for Elliot Anderson, with Nottingham Forest wanting more than £100M.

City threaten legal action over Enrique Riquelme’s Erling Haaland claims
City: “The stories which have emerged from Spain regarding the future of Erling Haaland are untrue.
“There is no chance of this happening and there is no contractual clause to enable it.
“We are considering legal action for the use of our player image in this context.”
Joint statement from Alfie Haaland and Rafaela Pimenta: “All very entertaining but not true. We wish all the best for both candidates in the Madrid elections.”
@TheAthleticFC
Elliot Anderson is either the best or second best midfielder on the market this summer, but my stance on this deal has always been the same - do everything you can, but there is a price where he becomes either not worth it or unattainable (beyond £100m).
I don't want players who aren't fully invested on putting Manchester United back to the top. If he wants to take the money, join City & become forever associated with the biggest cheating scandal we may ever see in our lifetime, good luck to him.
Some stains don't wash out though.
🚨 EXCL: Manchester City submit opening offer to Nottingham Forest for Elliot Anderson. #MCFC bid rejected by #NFFC but pursuit ongoing. Club bosses spoke at UEFA dinner last week (no suggestion it was to negotiate deal). W/ @lauriewhitwell@TheAthleticFC https://t.co/ZCZbfRgZLY
