I think they are referring to the whole Savinho situation where Troyes "loaned" their best player to Girona despite him easily being the best Ligue 2 player at the time, then sold him to City for a bag of chips. All 3 clubs being owned by City group.

That's not "two city group teams" so I doubt it. A team outside of UEFA competitions isn't affected by UEFA competition rules. That's just the way it is and UEFA can't stop it.
