Liverpool's rivals, Manchester City, have reportedly sought to challenge the Premier League's updated rules around Associated Party Transactions (APT).

Liverpool watched on as Man City began a challenge last June after arguing they were part of 'a tyranny of the majority'.

Spectacularly, upon its conclusion in October, both Premier League and Etihad Stadium chiefs claimed victory as some sections were deemed to breach EU competition law.



These findings are said to be expected later in the month.

Included in The Times is a letter supposedly sent by Premier League chief executive Richard Masters to all member clubs providing an update on this matter.

The letter reads: "On January 20, 2025, Manchester City FC began a further arbitration to challenge the APT rules.

Manchester City FC seeks a declaration that the amendments approved by clubs in November (and therefore the current APT rules in force) are unlawful and void.

"The Premier League remains strongly of the view that the amendments passed in November were lawful and the APT rules comply with all competition law requirements.

The parties are currently corresponding in relation to further directions.

"The APT rules remain in full force and effect and clubs remain required to comply with all aspects of the system."

The next Premier League shareholder meeting is pencilled in for Thursday, February 13.

With Liverpool wary of the impact the rules could have on them, they are also keeping watch from a distance of news about their rivals' 115+ charges of alleged financial misconduct.

Man City have always strongly denied all charges levied against them and took part in a legal battle with the Premier League between September and December last year.
