According to Swiss media outlet Nau, as Manchester City's financial fair play case continues, defender and new Swiss national team captain Manuel Akanji has expressed concern that the Premier League titles he won with Manchester City could be stripped.

During his time at Manchester City, Akanji won 2 Premier League titles, 1 UEFA Champions League title, and numerous other trophies with the club. Akanji was asked about Manchester City's scandal following Switzerland's 3-0 victory over North Macedonia in Lucerne.

The Swiss defender admitted he knows no more than the general public. Akanji said: "I'm still in contact with some of the players, but I don't know anything more than you do."

The veteran defender recalled when the investigation first began while he was still at Manchester City. He stated: "Back then, the club told us to stay calm, saying everything was under control and nothing serious had happened. I trusted Manchester City's management and believed that to be true."

Akanji then made a striking remark: "I hope I don't lose my titles. That would be unfortunate. But I only see all of this through the news."

Why are Akanji's titles at risk? Because the investigation period covers 2009 to 2018, and Akanji did not play for Manchester City during that time. The Swiss player moved from Basel to Borussia Dortmund in 2018 and did not join Manchester City until 2022.

When it was pointed out that his titles are not actually at risk, Akanji responded evasively: "Who knows what else they'll find." He then added irritably to the media: "Aren't you still investigating COVID from five years ago?"
