Gazzetta: Napoli post first deficit under De Laurentiis in two years | OneFootball

The Azzurri Pay for Absence in Cups: The Champions League is Worth More than the Scudetto...

Napoli closed its financial statement on June 30, 2025, with a loss of 21.4 million euros. This was reported by the Gazzetta, based on the reading of the minutes of the ordinary assembly of the company chaired by Aurelio De Laurentiis. The deficit comes after two consecutive profitable years: 63 million in 2023-24, 79.7 million in 2022-23. Winning the scudetto, the second in three years, was not enough because in the economic dynamics of the football industry, mere presence in the Champions League is worth much more.

The Azzurri club, last season, paid for the absence from the top European cup, due to the tenth place in Serie A the previous year. The financial statement was also affected by the increase in costs due to the start of the technical cycle with Antonio Conte as coach. However, the deficit of 2024-25 was comfortably managed thanks to Napoli's solid asset structure. As stated in the minutes, the loss as of June 30, 2025, was covered by drawing from the voluntary reserve, amounting to 216.6 million.

The assembly also renewed the board of directors for the next three years. All members were confirmed: President Aurelio De Laurentiis, his wife Jacqueline Marie Baudit, their children Edoardo and Valentina, and CEO Andrea Chiavelli.
