Roma considers UEFA fine over player sales before June 30 deadline

As June 30 approaches, AS Roma's ownership, the Friedkin family, contemplates paying a UEFA fine rather than selling key players to meet Financial Fair Play requirements. Reports indicate the club, with Champions League qualification secured, may keep stars like Matias Soulé, Manu Koné, and Evan Ndicka. Roma has already made some player sales, such as Tommaso Baldanzi and Alessandro Romano, but these steps have proven insufficient to meet financial obligations. Rather than risk dismantling the squad, the Friedkin family is prepared to face a financial penalty, anticipating revenue increases from future Champions League participation and upcoming sponsorship opportunities.
