Official: Roma fined €3m by UEFA for financial fair play breaches | OneFootball

UEFA have fined Serie A side Roma €3m for breaching Financial Fair Play rules, but Inter and Milan are given the all-clear.

It was known that the Giallorossi were at significant risk of falling foul of their settlement agreement if they didn’t make significant sales in the final 24 hours before the June 30 deadline.

A statement from UEFA notes that Roma “slightly exceeded the intermediate target set for the financial year ending in 2024 and was fined €3m.”

They were among 10 clubs under settlement agreements for this year, but Milan and Inter from Italy managed to fulfil all the intermediate financial targets.

Other clubs around Europe have made far more than slight breaches of the financial rules, so will be fined huge amounts.

Chelsea, Barcelona, Aston Villa, FC Porto, Hajduk Split and Olympique Lyonnais did not comply with the football earnings rule.

Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea are placed in a four-year settlement agreement, with €80m fine, of which €20m is unconditional.

They must immediately also pay another €11m fine for breaching the squad cost rule, meaning their squad cost ratio was above 80 per cent for 2024.

Barcelona’s fine is €60m (€15m unconditional) and a two-year settlement agreement, Aston Villa €20m (€5m unconditional, plus €6m for the squad cost rule breach) and three-year agreement.
