Napoli and Roma confront financial and contract issues amid Serie A scrutiny

AS Roma is negotiating contract renewals for several players, with reports that agreements have been reached for forward Paulo Dybala and defender Arijan Celik, while talks continue over midfielders and other targets. Club officials highlighted the importance of completing renewals quickly to avoid destabilising the squad ahead of the transfer window.

Meanwhile, SSC Napoli’s 2025 financial report shows player‑related expenses exceeding 70% of club revenue, a threshold set by UEFA’s financial‑fair‑play regulations. Although the excess would normally trigger a fine, Napoli avoided penalties by meeting an alternative profitability criterion over the 2023‑2025 triennium. The discussion also referenced similar cases, noting fines imposed on Juventus and pending sanctions for Roma due to comparable breaches.
