Perugia Calcio is undergoing significant structural and organizational changes. The club has officially reopened the East Stand, or ‘gradinata’, at the Stadio Renato Curi following three years of renovations intended to modernize the facility. Future plans include covering the Curva Nord.

Simultaneously, the ownership transfer from Javier Faroni to a new group, represented by Arena Curi, is nearing its final closing. This acquiring group is expected to comprise several entities, including an English fund, companies associated with Ricci and Gaucci, and a firm led by financial consultant Gianfranco Licomati. General manager Hernan Garcia Borras confirmed that the auditors' opinion on the 2026 budget has been completed ahead of the October 15 deadline, describing the financial statements as “perfect”.

While the transition is expected to finalize within days, tensions have emerged regarding the future of the stadium. Local administration involvement and comments from Perugia Mayor Vittoria Ferdinandi regarding stadium renovations have reportedly caused friction with Arena Curi members. Despite these complications, club officials have expressed confidence in the finalization of the contract. The new ownership group is also reportedly exploring projects related to the Pian di Massiano area, while the long-term vision remains a proposed €120 million facility to replace the existing stadium.
