Roma’s Serie A placement to determine transfer market capabilities | OneFootball

Roma have nine games left to achieve the unthinkable.

Roma’s season finale is not just on the pitch, but also on the balance sheet: reaching the Champions League would mean avoiding sacrifices on the market and ensuring sustainable growth.

Claudio Ranieri said it clearly on February 7: Roma will have to deal with the restrictions of financial fair play.

As reported by Il Messaggero, UEFA regulations require that from 2025 onwards, expenses for salaries, commissions and player registrations must not exceed 70% of turnover, a limit that will affect future strategies.

For this reason, participation in the Champions League is not only a sporting issue, but also an economic one.

Without the guaranteed revenue from the competition, the club will be forced to scale back its ambitions.

A possible failure to qualify would force the Ranieri-Ghisolfi duo to manage their wage bill even more carefully, trying to lighten the salary bill through targeted sales.

The strategy could include saying goodbye to less functional players to finance heavy renewals (such as that of Svilar) and new, more targeted additions, in the wake of the Koné operation.

The goal? Avoid past mistakes and build a competitive squad with no room for waste.
