In a document deposited in court, City says that clubs like Arsenal, Brighton, Everton and Leicester have received shareholder loans, which would have distorted competition. The club believes that these loans have been treated differently from other financial agreements.

This conflict is part of a long legal battle between City and the Premier League. City disputes the new attempts by the Premier League to modify the rules of shareholders' loans, calling them ” discriminatory ” And ” likely to distort competition ». The club criticizes the way the league has evaluated these loans, believing that independent experts should have been consulted. The Citizens are now awaiting the court's decision on this issue.
