Manchester City reportedly made an illegal payment of £200,000 to the agent of former Citizens player Jadon Sancho when the England star was just 14.
According to German magazine Der Spiegel (h/t BBC Sport), the amount was paid to the player's representative, Emeka Obasi, when the winger moved to City from Watford in 2015.
It's alleged that while City detailed the money to Obasi as part of a scouting assignment regarding players from central and South America, the money was tied to the youngster's transfer from Vicarage Road.
Der Spiegel also said that City wrote a letter to the player's father outlining their desire to sign Sancho when he turned professional, something that "alarmed" a club lawyer as it insinuated a financial offer.
