How Roma will tackle FFP this summer

Roma is accelerating its financial efforts.
By the end of June, the club is required to realize significant capital gains to comply with the settlement agreement signed with UEFA and definitively settle a long-standing issue.
According to Il Romanista, the club’s position is clear: no extension.
Although the possibility of a one-year extension to the agreement has emerged in recent weeks, the objective remains to honor the club’s commitments within the established deadlines, thus ending the European body’s control regime.
Achieving this goal will require a high-profile transfer.
The potential transfers include Mile Svilar, Manu Koné, and Evan Ndicka. Should the required figure not be reached, the club has already evaluated the possibility of financial penalties.
At the same time, a summer of profound renewal looms. With expiring contracts and loans set to conclude, the squad will undergo significant changes.
This process will also involve targeted interventions on the incoming transfer market, with the Friedkin ownership ready to support new investments.
The new cycle will once again begin with Gian Piero Gasperini, called upon to lead a vastly revamped team. First, however, the most delicate step remains: balancing the books and definitively closing the chapter with UEFA.
