Manchester City could be set for a boost in their financial fair play saga with the Premier League.
The Citizens are in a fight to prove their innocence against the 115 Premier League charges against them.
However, The Mirror states that one of the key sponsorships behind the Premier League's investigation may not be fraudulent.
It was alleged that Etihad did not pay City the vast sums that were claimed on paper.
However, Etihad is set for an IPO in the coming months, which will reveal their full accounts.
The source states that if those sponsorships were fraudulent, Etihad would not want to reveal its books.
