Manchester City is facing what many are calling 'The Trial of the Century,' a process that is underway and could lead to a historic sanction, potentially resulting in their expulsion from the Premier League. In light of these events, the players are reportedly reconsidering their futures.

As the investigation into City’s alleged breaches of up to 115 charges related to financial fair play regulations in recent seasons continues, the club maintains its innocence and believes the case will end up as nothing more than an anecdote. However, in recent days, fears of a 'heavy-handed' punishment have grown.

Although Pep Guardiola has stated that the team is not discussing the current off-field situation in the locker room, it has been revealed that there is some concern within the players’ inner circle.

According to the Daily Mail, agents of the players are 'anxious' to know what the team’s plans are if 'the worst-case scenario' is confirmed.

In response to this, options are being explored to deal with the looming threat of a possible forced relegation, a situation that is far from desired within the club, which is still awaiting the final verdict.

If the sanction is enforced, it will be impossible to retain players like Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Rodri, or Haaland, who, according to the British outlet, are precisely the names unwilling to wait for an 'escape route,' although, for now, everything remains uncertain.
