Manchester City facing huge Champions League decision over new signings Only three of the club’s four new recruits will be able to be registered for the European competitione.
Manchester City will have to omit one of their new signings from their Champions League squad for the second half of the season and face the decision of which of their expensive arrivals to disappoint.
However, it indicated that Khusanov is ahead of Reis in the pecking order which could mean the £29m signing from Palmeiras, the cheapest of City’s four new buys, is the man to miss out.
City were the biggest spenders in Europe in the January window, paying over £170m – which could rise above £180m if add-ons are triggered – for defenders Abdudokir Khusanov and Vitor Reis, forward Omar Marmoush and midfielder Nico Gonzalez.
Uefa allow clubs to register up to three new players for the knockout phase of competitions, regardless of whether they have already played in Europe for their previous team, for the knockout phase.
