UEFA Imposes Up to €80 Million in Fines and Transfer Curbs on Six Clubs

Settlement agreements impose conditional fines based on annual compliance targets coupled with Champions League registration restrictions for rule breaches.

Overview

  • Barcelona was fined up to €60 million, including a €15 million upfront payment and additional charges if it fails to meet annual compliance targets.
  • Chelsea was hit with an €80 million maximum penalty featuring a €20 million guaranteed fine and obligations lasting through 2029 if conditions are not met.
  • Olympique Lyon, Aston Villa, FC Porto and Hajduk Split also entered settlement agreements after the CFBC found revenue misreporting in the 2023–24 seasons.
  • Each club must record a positive net transfer balance to register new Champions League players under the new restrictions.
  • The agreements warn that continued breaches could lead to steeper fines and possible exclusion from UEFA club competitions.
