Juventus agree UEFA settlement and up to €20m fine as Fiorentina also sanctioned | OneFootball

Juventus and Fiorentina are among the clubs sanctioned by UEFA after its Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) concluded its assessment of teams that took part in the 2025/26 European competitions, finding a number in breach of financial sustainability rules.

As per the Corriere dello Sport, Juventus were found to have broken the “football earnings rule”, which permits a maximum aggregate deficit of €60 million across the three financial years preceding the monitoring period, in this case those ending in 2023, 2024 and 2025, assessed on a three-year aggregate basis for the first time.

As a result, the Bianconeri have signed a three-year settlement agreement with the CFCB, as have Newcastle United.

Financially, UEFA handed Juventus a total fine of €20 million, of which €14 million is conditional.

Provided the club meets the terms of the agreement, only €6 million will ultimately be payable.

The deal also requires Juventus to hit intermediate targets and return fully within the financial parameters by the end of the settlement period, with possible restrictions on registering new players in their UEFA squad lists, up to exclusion from European competition, should those targets be missed.

Fiorentina fined €6m over squad-cost breach as Juventus face sanctions

Fiorentina, meanwhile, were ordered to pay a €6 million fine after exceeding the permitted squad-cost-to-revenue ratio of 70%, with penalties scaled to the size of the overspend.

They were far from alone. UEFA confirmed that disciplinary measures were imposed on 14 clubs in total.

With Aston Villa, Chelsea, Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest, Nice, Strasbourg, AEK Athens and Fenerbahçe also among those sanctioned for falling foul of the financial sustainability requirements.
