Arsenal are poised to demand compensation from Manchester City for the 2022/23 and 2023/24 seasons, insisting that the fallout from their rivals' financial misconduct has far-reaching effects that linger beyond the charges outlined.
The Premier League's case against City covers breaches occurring from 2009 to 2018. However, Arsenal are adamant that the consequences of these illegal actions have continued to impact the competitive landscape for years after 2018. This situation directly affects their prize money distribution, Champions League qualifications, and other financial opportunities lost for the Gunners.
Reports indicate that Arsenal, along with Liverpool, Manchester United, and Tottenham, have reserved the right to seek damages should City be found guilty.
If Arsenal find themselves excluded from any compensation process, the club's hierarchy is prepared to initiate legal proceedings. Their argument is straightforward: while the violations occurred many years ago, the detrimental effects on their competitors have not faded away since the end of the 2017/18 season.
