Friedkin sets salary cap for Roma's top players ahead of new season

Summary

Roma has established a salary cap of €4.5 million net for its players as part of a strategy to achieve financial independence after years of struggling to return to the Champions League. The club, now led by the Friedkin family, aims to reduce its gross salary from €140 million to around €100 million. Key decisions include focusing investments on young players under 24 to control costs. This approach is part of a wider effort to move the club out of financial emergency, as reported by Corriere dello Sport.
