adminLONDON. — Liverpool are relaxed about reports they face an investigation into potential breaches of Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations by European governing body Uefa, manager Brendan Rodgers said yesterday.
British media reports claim that Liverpool are one of several clubs under investigation, including Monaco, Inter Milan and Roma.
Clubs that did not play in Europe last season have recently submitted their accounts to Uefa’s scrutiny, but Rodgers is confident that Liverpool will not fall foul of the regulations.
“It’s obviously something that will be dealt with by the directors. It’s something we’re comfortable with because we’re great advocates of Financial Fair Play. It’s ongoing with the club,” he said.
Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain received heavy penalties last season for breaching FFP rules, which oblige clubs not to spend beyond their means.
Rodgers declared that he was unconcerned by media speculation linking in-form 19-year-old winger Raheem Sterling with interest from European champions Real Madrid.
“It shows that he’s playing exceptionally well. I think you could probably link Raheem with every club in the world at the moment. He’s a fantastic young talent. I’ve nothing really to add to it. There’s obviously lots of speculation every day about players coming and going here at Liverpool. He’s a wonderful boy who’s developing very, very well here.” — AFP.
