Roma under Financial Fair Play restrictions until 2027 | OneFootball

AS Roma is still under heavy scrutiny from UEFA due to its failure to break even in the 2021/22 season.

In September 2022, the European organization announced that the club had signed a four-year settlement agreement, imposing financial constraints until the 2026/27 season, writes Il Tempo.

Since then, the Giallorossi market has been heavily conditioned, with stringent limits that have affected sports management, particularly under the leadership of José Mourinho and Tiago Pinto.

One of the main obstacles has been the Transfer balance, i.e. the obligation to maintain a balance in the costs of the squad, a constraint that lapsed at the end of last season.

However, other restrictions remain. UEFA has established that the club must guarantee a sustainable aggregate budget, with a maximum deficit allowed of €60 million.

If this threshold is exceeded, Roma will risk more severe sanctions. Ranieri, in the last press conference, highlighted a further obstacle deriving from the recent reform of Financial Fair Play.

By 2025, in fact, expenses for salaries, agents and market purchases cannot exceed 70% of the club’s turnover.

Currently, Roma exceeds this limit and will have to find solutions to fit within the parameters imposed by UEFA.

There are two alternatives: Increase revenues or reduce operating costs. These financial constraints explain why Roma cannot afford large expenses in the transfer sessions and must operate with great attention to economic sustainability.

The club’s future strategy will depend on the ability to increase revenues, through sponsorships, qualifications for European competitions and the valorization of young talents, or on the need to further cut wages and reduce management costs.
