Roma risks UEFA fine for failing to sell players ahead of deadline

Summary

As August begins, AS Roma has not completed any player sales necessary to achieve a capital gain for UEFA compliance. This decision follows an extension to the Financial Fair Play deadline and appears to be strategic, as the club aims to maintain team competitiveness. The Friedkin family, alongside coach Gian Piero Gasperini, has chosen not to weaken the squad before the season starts. Roma is expected to face a fine between €10 and €12 million, along with potential reductions in their European squad size for the 2027-28 season. A final decision from UEFA is anticipated in November.
