UEFA has launched a new inquiry into Juventus amid accusations of financial misconduct within the club’s operations.
Juventus, the renowned Serie A giant based in Turin, is currently under UEFA’s microscope for alleged violations of financial regulations covering the period from 2022 to 2025. This scrutiny comes as the club strives to regain its footing in European football after recent setbacks.
According to insiders from The Athletic, the investigation centers on whether Juventus has surpassed UEFA’s financial loss limits, which are set at €60 million (£50m/$65m). This threshold can be extended to €90 million (£76m/$98m) if the club can prove it has implemented sound financial management practices.
This probe follows less than a year after Juventus made their return to European competitions, having served a one-year ban due to prior financial irregularities. The findings of this inquiry are expected by spring 2026, with potential repercussions including substantial fines or restrictions on player registrations for UEFA tournaments.
While Juventus has publicly downplayed the investigation’s significance, internal sources reveal growing concern, especially with a critical shareholders’ meeting scheduled for November 7, 2025. This date also marks the anticipated departure of CEO Maurizio Scanavino, who has been at the helm for three years.
The ongoing investigation presents a formidable obstacle for Juventus as they attempt to recover from a turbulent period marked by sanctions. In 2023, UEFA fined the club €20 million (£17m/$22m) for breaches related to licensing and Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules. Half of this fine was suspended, contingent on compliance during the 2023, 2024, and 2025 seasons-the very timeframe now under review.
Domestically, Juventus has also faced penalties from Italy’s football authority, the FIGC, which docked the club 10 Serie A points in 2023 amid allegations of falsifying financial records and inflating transfer fees. Although the initial 15-point deduction was reduced on appeal, the incident severely damaged the club’s standing.
Despite these challenges, Juventus’ leadership insists the club remains compliant with FFP regulations. They point to recent measures such as cutting operational expenses, offloading players, and lowering wage bills as part of a broader effort to restore fiscal health. Nevertheless, UEFA’s renewed investigation underscores ongoing concerns about the club’s financial conduct.
