Man City part of a FIFA investigation

Manchester City are part of an investigation into the transfer of 24-year-old Eliaquim Mangala from Porto in August 2014. Manchester City are not believed to be under investigation, but Porto are.

confirm to they are investigating Eliaquim Mangala's transfer to for breach of 3rd party owner rules

He signed on an undisclosed fee thought to be £32-million, but he has third party owners so not all that fee goes to Porto. No third party is allowed to influence any transfer and I remember Duncan Castles of the Times reporting that the thrird-party owners of Marcos Rojo were doing just that before he signed for Manchester United, Having informed me he had evidence and had reported it to FIFA I am surprised there has been no investigation.

It seems that third party owners certainly want to influence where a player plays, after all they stand to gail if his value goes up so they want a player sold for as much as possible to one of the largest clubs possible. Premier League rules forbid third-party ownership, but it is rife in Europe, especially for South American players.
