Man City fear fresh transfer ban as Monaco fume over Mbappe approaches

Manchester City risk a transfer ban after AS Monaco threatened clubs with FIFA action over their pursuit of Kylian Mbappe.

Sky Sports says Monaco's complaints relate to moves from Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain – but not Arsenal.

Monaco are now considering asking Fifa and the French Football League to start disciplinary action over what they have labelled “unacceptable situation".

A statement read: “AS Monaco regretfully notice that 'important' European football clubs made contacts with Kylian Mbappe (and his entourage) without its authorisation.

“AS Monaco want to remind to these clubs that such actions are contrary to the article 211 of the Administrative regulation of the French Football League (Ligue de Football Professionnel) and to the article 18.3 of the Regulation of the Status and the Transfer of the Players of FIFA.

“To put an end to this unacceptable situation, AS Monaco consider asking the French Football League (Ligue de Football Professionnel) and the Fifa to commit disciplinary procedures against clubs offenders."
