Manchester City's pursuit of Jude Bellingham could reportedly be complicated by the bombshell charges announced by the Premier League over alleged financial rule breaches.
The Premier League announced on Monday that the reigning champions faced more than 100 charges, with a disciplinary commission now set to determine the club's fate.
Should Man City be found guilty, they face a range of potential sanctions including a points deduction or even an expulsion - though it could take years to come to a conclusion.
According to the Telegraph, the potential uncertainty and risk of a significant punishment could complicate the club's transfer business in the summer, including their pursuit of Borussia Dortmund's Jude Bellingham.
