But Der Spiegel has now published details from its own investigation conducted in conjunction with the European Investigative Collaborations (EIC) journalism network.
It offers detail on each of the three areas it claims form the focus of the Premier League's enquiries.The Premier League and Manchester City declined to comment when approached by BBC Sport.
However, it is understood City believe the latest details are a continuation of previous allegations in relation to Financial Fair Play regulations, which they feel are designed to damage the club.
