MANCHESTER, England — The Spanish soccer league wants UEFA to investigate Manchester City’s spending and expand its newly-launched probe into whether Paris Saint-Germain has breached Financial Fair Play rules. UEFA said Friday it would look into whether PSG was flouting rules designed to control excessive spending by top European clubs. Ultimately, clubs breaching rules can be banned from playing in the Champions League or Europa League. But Tebas said both City and PSG are still trying to evade spending rules intended to ensure clubs break even. To achieve that, according to Tebas, PSG and City are inflating their income by using sponsorship state-backed companies.
