Roma have opened direct discussions with UEFA’s financial control body as the club looks to manage the consequences of falling short of the financial targets set under its Settlement Agreement.
According to La Repubblica and Calcio e Finanza, the Friedkin ownership has begun a dialogue with UEFA in Nyon with the aim of avoiding the most severe potential sanction: exclusion from European competitions for the 2027-28 season.
The reports indicate that Roma remain confident the situation can be resolved through less severe measures. The club expects that any breach of the agreement will instead result in an additional financial penalty related to the 2025-26 accounts, rather than a sporting sanction.
To fully satisfy the conditions of the Settlement Agreement, Roma reportedly needed to generate approximately €50 million in capital gains by June 30. After deciding to keep the core of Gian Piero Gasperini’s squad intact, the Giallorossi now await UEFA’s assessment in the coming months.
While the financial picture remains under scrutiny, Roma’s strategy has been clear: preserve the team’s key players while working with UEFA to reach a solution that allows the club to continue competing at the highest level in Europe.
