Juventus are set to formalize a settlement agreement with UEFA before the end of next week, according to reports from TuttoSport. The agreement stems from breaches of Financial Fair Play regulations, specifically exceeding the permitted €60 million loss threshold over a three-year period.
The club will reportedly pay an unconditional fine of just under €10 million and face a slight reduction in the number of players they can register for the Europa League. Juventus were already limited to a 23-player squad list for the current season, two fewer than the maximum allowed, due to regulations concerning locally-trained players.
The settlement agreement will outline the financial parameters for the next three seasons and define the extent of the sanctions for the violations. Juventus’ management team remains confident in achieving a break-even point by 2028 and anticipates nearing that goal by the end of the next fiscal year.
To comply with UEFA’s regulations moving forward, Juventus will prioritize a ‘zero-impact’ transfer strategy. This means player sales will be used to fund any incoming transfers, ensuring that overall costs are reduced. The club believes that further capital increases would be ineffective if the funds cannot be spent due to spending limitations. Any new signings will need to be offset by player departures, considering not only the transfer fee but also the overall financial impact, including wages and amortization of the player’s contract.
