BREAKING: A major European club under investigation

A major European football powerhouse is under UEFA investigation due to alleged financial misconduct, potentially leading to severe sanctions and transfer bans.

Off-field troubles continue to surround Juventus as UEFA officially launches a new inquiry into the club’s financial irregularities during the 2022–2025 period. If found guilty, the “Old Lady” could face hefty fines or restrictions on player registrations in European competitions.

According to The Athletic, the investigation aims to determine whether Juventus exceeded the allowed loss threshold of 60 million Euros over three years. This limit could increase to 90 million Euros if the club can prove its financial health. The findings are expected to be released in spring 2026, potentially impacting Juventus’s Champions League campaign.

Just one year after being banned from European competitions for financial breaches, the “Bianconeri” are once again under intense scrutiny. Although Juventus’s management has tried to reassure the public by stating they “have a handle on the situation,” Italian experts believe there is genuine concern within the club. The investigation coincides with CEO Maurizio Scanavino’s planned departure in November, adding to the tense atmosphere at Allianz Stadium.

Juventus’s financial scars have yet to heal. In 2023, UEFA fined the club 20 million Euros, with 10 million suspended provided the club complied with financial rules from 2023 to 2025—the same period now under investigation. Earlier, the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) also docked Juventus 10 points in Serie A for manipulating player values in transfer deals.

Despite these scandals, Juventus’s leadership insists the club is on the right track toward financial restructuring, reducing the wage bill, and moving toward a sustainable model. However, with UEFA continuing strict oversight under the new “squad cost rule,” which caps spending on wages and transfers at 70% of revenue, Juventus clearly faces a challenging road ahead.

The shareholder meeting on November 7 is seen as a crucial turning point for the “Old Lady’s” future. While striving to regain credibility and status in Europe, Juventus must confront the reality that rebuilding trust after financial crises will be a long and difficult journey.
