An investigation reveals no members of Manchester City's current squad were signed during the timeframe when the club was found guilty of breaching Premier League financial regulations. The charges, covering breaches from 2009 to 2018, have been denied by City, who are appealing the findings. The club's longest-serving first-team player is captain Ruben Dias, acquired in 2020, while midfielder Phil Foden, a product of the academy, made his first-team debut in 2017 but was not a senior signing during the violation period. Other senior players arrived after 2020, with no new signings from 2018 to 2023 included in the current roster.
