City claim no wrongdoing
Manchester City claim they have no case to answer in the Jeremy Helan transfer dispute.
The Blues signed the 17-year-old starlet earlier this year from French outfit Rennes.
However, his former employers claim the Premier League club breached transfer regulations in order to land the teenager.
They have since reported the matter to Fifa, who are set to investigate Rennes's claims.
Induce
City, though, say Helan was attempting to negotiate a release from his contract with Rennes prior to their interest being lodged.
They insist they have acted within the laws of the game and are confident no action will be taken against them.
"Manchester City is aware of the ongoing contractual dispute in the French Labour Courts between Jeremy Helan and Stade Rennais," read a statement on the club's official website.
"The dispute between the player and the club pre-dates any interest from Manchester City.
"Manchester City obviously cannot comment on the case until the French Judicial Process has run its course, however, we are comfortable that we have acted within the rules throughout the process and in no way induced any breach of contract by Jeremy Helan."
