Paris Saint-Germain has admitted instances of ethnic profiling in scouting materials for youth players.

PSG's recruiters outside of the Paris region included an "origin" section in their scouting reports that listed "African, Caribbean, French and Maghreb" as options.

PSG reiterated their "fight against all forms of discrimination" and the fact that the club has been "fighting against all forms of stadium violence and racism" for the past 10 years.

Under French law, "collecting or processing personal data that directly or indirectly reveals the racial or ethnic origin of a person" is an offence punishable by five years in prison and a €300,000 fine.

Roberto Mancini had two contracts while manager of Manchester City as he was also paid via the club Sheikh Mansour owns in Abu Dhabi.

On signing for the club, Mancini allegedly not only agreed an annual salary there but also a further, more lucrative basic deal as a consultant with Al Jazira Sports and Cultural Club, which is controlled by City’s owner.

Mancini agreed a £1.45 million annual salary with City when he joined in 2009, plus bonuses and incentives, but also – according to the allegations – agreed a £1.75 million salary with Al Jazira.

In 2014, City were fined £20 million by Uefa for breaking FFP regulations after the club was found to have overvalued sponsorship deals provided by companies associated with Abu Dhabi’s ruling family.
