City accused of paying six figure sums to young players' families

The latest release of hacked emails allegedly proves that Premier League champions Manchester City paid six-figure sums to the families of academy players. 

It is also claimed that the top flight trailblazers are facing a one year transfer ban from FIFA amid claims that the club signed eight U18 level players from overseas. 

New documents reportedly show the extreme lengths that City went to in order to secure a great deal of the top young players from around the world.

The chart, labelled 'Future Acquisitions 2012/13', demonstrate that the family of Belgian defender Mathias Bossaerts was paid around  £190,000. 

In addition, further emails obtained from the club show that they were willing to cover the relocation costs to the family of a boy playing in the U8's age group, thought to be around £10,000.

City were also considering the completion of a £375,000 payment to an unnamed player who they had yet to enter negotiations with. 

The Premier League champions refused to comment on the matter, referring to an earlier statement which read: 'The attempt to damage the club’s reputation is organised and clear.’
