Attributed to original sourceJuventus 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.

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.

What happened
Juventus and Fiorentina have both agreed settlements with UEFA over alleged breaches of financial fair play and licensing regulations. The settlement with Juventus includes a conditional fine of up to €20m, with the final amount likely dependent on compliance with agreed financial targets. Fiorentina have also been sanctioned, though specific details of their penalty were not disclosed in the headline. The agreements close the latest chapter in UEFA's ongoing monitoring of Italian clubs' financial conduct under the Financial Sustainability Regulations.
Chance analysis
These UEFA settlements are a continuation of the regulatory scrutiny Italian clubs have faced under Financial Sustainability Regulations. For Juventus, a €20m conditional fine impacts their financial planning but the settlement framework allows them to operate within defined parameters rather than face harsher sanctions like European competition bans. This stability is mildly positive for squad planning but the fine represents a real cost. Fiorentina's additional sanction compounds financial pressure on a mid-tier Italian club.
Juventus face a financial penalty of up to €20m that constrains spending flexibility; Fiorentina also face sanctions that could limit their competitive resources.
