"The club always reassured us that we would be cleared of wrongdoing, that we would face no penalties, because nothing improper had been done. We trusted the club, and ultimately, the club was acquitted.

" City have been accused of failing to provide accurate financial information and details of payments to players and coaches, alongside alleged breaches of the Premier League's financial sustainability rules. The club has consistently denied the allegations.

Rodri said he expected City to receive a favourable outcome again. "I have faith that the club, which I know very well, will be cleared, given the reassurance they gave us back then that they had done everything by the book," he said.

City were found guilty by UEFA in 2020 of breaching financial fair play rules and initially received a two-year ban from European competitions. The Court of Arbitration for Sport later overturned the ban on appeal and reduced the accompanying fine.
