UEFA fined eight clubs (Milan, Monaco, Roma, Besiktas, Inter, Juventus, Olympique de Marseille and PSG) for breaching

financial

The economic sanctions, accepted by the entities within the framework of conciliation agreements, amount to a total of 172 million euros.

The Parisian team is the one with the highest figure (65 million), followed by Roma (35) and Inter (26), according to the analysis of the 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 exercises carried out by the First Chamber of the Club Financial Control Committee (CFCB) of the highest body in European football.

The last two years were evaluated as a single period because they were subject to emergency measures due to the pandemic.

These amounts will be withheld from the clubs' revenue from participating in UEFA competitions or paid out directly.

However, at the moment only 26 million (15%) will be paid in full and the remaining balance of 146 million (85%) is conditional on the entities meeting the objectives established in their respective agreements.

As announced by UEFA, the Chamber agreed with the eight clubs financial contributions of 172 million, specific objectives and conditional and unconditional sporting restrictions for the next few years.

The framework of the settlement agreement is identical for all the teams and the agreements cover a period of three or four years.

Only Roma and Inter have opted for the second.

All of them "will be closely monitored in the next period," the agency announced.

As of the 2023 financial year, exceptional deductions for covid-19 will no longer be possible, nor will the consideration of historical financial results.

In addition to the three Spaniards, there are Borussia Dortmund, Chelsea, Basel, Union Berlin, Fenerbahçe, Feyenoord, Leicester, Manchester City, Lyon, Rangers, Royal Antwerp, Lazio, Naples, Trabzonspor, Wolfsburg and West Ham.
