UEFA Lifts Man City, PSG Sanctions after Clubs Curb Spending
UEFA has lifted key Financial Fair Play sanctions from Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain after both clubs met spending limits imposed last year.
UEFA's decision announced on Friday lets both clubs spend more on player transfers and wages.
Both clubs also avoided being fined 20 million euros ($22.2 million) of Champions League prize money they earned last season. Fines would have been triggered for further over-spending.
Man City and PSG can now select from Champions League squads of 25 senior players.
Both had only 21 eligible last season as part of initial sanctions imposed by UEFA in May 2014. Then, both clubs forfeited 20 million euros ($22.2 million) of Champions League prize money.
UEFA says Man City and PSG stay "under strict monitoring," and are "subject to some limitations in 2016."
