Ranieri was clear: \u201cWe\u2019ll have to stick to the books. We\u2019ll see how the league goes and what path we take in the Europa League.\u201d But what does all this mean for Roma? Another season of sacrifices: \u20ac90 million needs to be raised in capital gain. <\/p>\n
The goal now is to keep the deficit within a total of \u20ac60 million between the 2023-24, 2024-25, and 2025-26 seasons, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport. <\/p>\n
How can Roma reach this goal? Let\u2019s start with 2023-24: the -81, calculated according to UEFA criteria (excluding taxes and virtuous expenses), turns into approximately -60. In 2024-25, the Giallorossi reduced costs by over \u20ac30 million and generated approximately \u20ac10 million more in capital gains than the previous year. <\/p>\n
Thus, the operating loss should have dropped to around \u20ac30 million, which for UEFA purposes corresponds to -10\/-15. <\/p>\n
At this point, Roma has already used up the maximum accepted deviation of \u20ac60 million for the three-year period, and in 2025-26 they will be forced to break even. <\/p>\n
Therefore, a \u20ac30 million improvement in the financial statements compared to last season is needed. However, several items must be considered: the \u20ac40 million in capital gains accrued in 2024-25 (with the summer transfer window rather stagnant, given that the main sales were recorded in June), the \u20ac10 million in additional expenses resulting from the last transfer campaign, and the \u20ac12 million in revenue lost due to the expiration of the contract with main sponsor Riyadh Season. <\/p>\n
All things considered, the club needs to recover \u20ac90 million. <\/p>\n
The priority will be to obtain resources from sales: the main suspects remain Kon\u00e9 and Ndicka. Added to this will be the new shirt sponsor, further cost cuts, and sporting results. <\/p>\n
If Gasperini\u2019s Roma manages to improve on last season\u2019s results (fifth in Serie A, round of 16 in the Europa League, and fourth in the Coppa Italia), they will have a nest egg capable of reducing the burden of player trading. The final figures, however, will only be finalized in June.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ranieri was clear: \u201cWe\u2019ll have to stick to the books.
