Were any current Man City players signed during charges period?

No member of Manchester City's current squad was signed during the period in which an independent commission found the club guilty of all charges relating to breaches of the Premier League's financial regulations. Those offences all came between 2009 and 2018. City have denied any wrongdoing and appealed against all of the charges against them. The club's longest-serving first-team player who was purchased from another club is Portuguese centre-back and club captain Ruben Dias, who joined from Benfica in 2020. Norway striker Erling Haaland is the next longest-serving arrival, joining from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2022.
