Roma continues negotiations with UEFA over financial fair play settlement

Source: Roma News

Roma is in ongoing discussions with UEFA after failing to meet the targets set by a settlement agreement by the 30 June deadline. The Friedkin Group is confident that the club's financial recovery over recent years will limit consequences, though UEFA's approach from its Nyon headquarters remains cautious. The agreement stipulated a maximum aggregate loss of 60 million euros over three years. While Roma's deficit fell significantly from 81.4 million to 53.8 million euros across the latest two financial periods, and the wage bill was reduced from 189 to 141 million euros, the club risks breaching the threshold when UEFA applies its own criteria, which exclude certain expenditures on infrastructure, women's football and youth development.

Rather than request a further extension to the settlement agreement, Roma's ownership has chosen to negotiate directly with UEFA. The Friedkin Group is banking on relationships built in recent years and the demonstrated path of financial rehabilitation to secure a penalty above 10 million euros. UEFA, however, is taking a cautious stance. The governing body is reluctant to create precedents that could be interpreted as preferential treatment, particularly given scrutiny from other European clubs over financial control systems. Contingent losses and outstanding revenues—such as those from Champions League competition—remain unaccounted for in current calculations.

Dybala credits Mourinho for Roma move as Fenerbahçe accelerates Greenwood chase; first pre-season friendly set for 16 July

Paulo Dybala has credited José Mourinho with bringing him to Roma, describing the former manager as "a genius and a good person" who earned the affection of supporters through his dedication. Speaking to YouTuber Davoo, Dybala reflected on his time in the capital, commenting on fellow squad member El Aynaoui's World Cup performance and recalling the controversial Europa Conference League final defeat to Sevilla, where he acknowledged a handball incident but noted that "throughout the match there were various moments in which the referee made strange decisions." Meanwhile, Fenerbahçe has intensified efforts to sign Mason Greenwood ahead of Roma, engaging directly with the English forward's representatives and Marseille. Roma's pursuit is complicated by Marseille's firm €50 million valuation, which is reinforced by a pre-existing agreement requiring 40% of any future sale to be paid to Manchester United. This financial rigidity leaves Roma facing pressure to move quickly or risk losing the target to the Turkish club. Roma's pre-season schedule has been adjusted. The originally planned friendly against Roma City has been cancelled and replaced by a match against Sorianese on 16 July. Between 19–24 July, the squad will face two further internal friendlies: against the Primavera side and then Trastevere.
