Question:

Will Manchester City face a transfer ban?

by Guest1993 | 12 years, 9 month(s) ago

The French club Rennes, have accused City of inducing 17 year old French defender, Jeremy Helan, to break his contract agreement after City signed the France under-16 youth international in February. With Chelsea having recently been handed a two year transfer ban over their acquisition of Gael Kakuta, will Manchester City face the same fate when FIFA examine the case?

Manchester City insist that they have acted within the rules over the signing of 17-year-old defender Jérémy Hélan following the news that Fifa will be investigating the complaint made by the French side Rennes who trained Helan and claim that he signed pre-contract agreement with them as a 13-year-old.
The case follows the two year ban handed to Chelsea by Fifa for inducing another French teenager, Gael Kakuta, to break his contract with Lens.
It has emerged that Rennes’ complaint was made before the punishment handed out to Chelsea emerged.
According to Rennes’ technical director Pierre Dreossi, “Kakuta signed up for just a possibility of a full contract. For Hélan there was definitely one there, under the terms of the pre-contract agreement because he had played for his country”. If this is the case then Fifa will almost certainly be obliged to hand out some punishment to Manchester City, however all eyes will be on the appeal which Chelsea will almost certainly be launching and the outcome could set a precedent.
