Four Premier League clubs have been fined by UEFA for breaching financial sustainability regulations during the 2025-26 season.<\/p>\n
Aston Villa have been fined \u20ac22.5m, of which \u20ac15m is suspended pending their continued compliance over a three-year period that began with an initial fine in July last year.<\/p>\n
In addition, Villa will face a restriction on the registration of new players for next season’s Champions League campaign.<\/p>\n
Chelsea have been fined \u20ac3m, of which \u20ac2m is suspended. Nottingham Forest must pay \u20ac2.5m and Newcastle \u20ac3m.<\/p>\n
The Magpies acknowledged the sanction and indicated that they would work with the European governing body to ensure full, ongoing compliance moving forward.<\/p>\n
The statement read: “Newcastle United has entered into a settlement agreement with UEFA following a breach of its Financial Sustainability Regulations in the three-year period ending June 2025.<\/p>\n
“Following an overspend in relation to UEFA\u2019s Football Earnings threshold, the club has worked closely and constructively with the Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) to swiftly resolve the matter.<\/p>\n
“Accordingly, the club has accepted the three-year settlement, which includes a \u20ac3m euro financial penalty, with a further \u20ac7m suspended pending future compliance.<\/p>\n
“In addition, UEFA has determined that the club will pay a further \u20ac3m due to breaching UEFA\u2019s 70% Squad Cost Ratio (SCR) target in calendar year 2025.<\/p>\n
“Newcastle United thanks UEFA for its careful consideration and is committed to full ongoing compliance.”<\/p>\n
