City’s disciplinary case over 115 charges intensifies as a secret hearing concludes, setting the stage for upcoming verdicts and transfer negotiations.
The club faces a long-running investigation that began two years ago. A secret hearing took place in late 2024, and fans now wait for the impending verdict.
A top league official confirmed that the disciplinary panel now reviews all evidence. The club denies any wrongdoing and insists on its irrefutable proof of innocence.
An experienced insider noted that the case has produced almost no leaks. This unusual silence adds a layer of suspense that few expected in such high-stakes situations.
The confidential hearing occurred in central London. Analysts predict that the verdict may come around Easter, with any potential sanctions following at the season’s end.
All eyes now turn to the club’s star goalkeeper, Ederson. He has featured in 28 matches across all competitions this season, and his contract expires in June. Three Saudi Pro League clubs—Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr, and Al-Ittihad—are keen on his signature.
Current Premier League standings intensify the drama. Nottingham Forest leads with 27 games, 48 points, and a goal difference of +11; City trails slightly with 27 games, 47 points, and a +16 goal difference, while Chelsea and Newcastle complete the quartet with 27 games, 46 points (+16) and 27 games, 44 points (+8), respectively.
The combined uncertainty of the disciplinary verdict and transfer speculation fuels an explosive season. Both on-field battles and off-field dramas promise to reshape the competitive landscape before the season concludes.
