Juventus Faces Renewed UEFA Investigation into Financial Activities

UEFA Launches New Investigation into Juventus’ Financial Irregularities

Juventus are once again under UEFA scrutiny as European football’s governing body opens a fresh investigation into alleged financial irregularities spanning the 2022–2025 seasons.

According to reports from The Athletic, the inquiry will examine whether the Serie A giants breached UEFA’s financial sustainability regulations by exceeding the permitted loss threshold of €60 million (£50m/$65m) a limit that can extend to €90 million (£76m/$98m) if a club demonstrates solid financial management.

Another Chapter in Juventus’ Financial Turmoil

This latest development comes less than a year after Juventus returned to European competition following a one-year UEFA ban for previous financial rule breaches. The findings of the new probe are expected by spring 2026, with potential sanctions ranging from monetary fines to restrictions on squad registration for UEFA tournaments.

In an official statement, Juventus confirmed awareness of the investigation and sought to downplay its significance. However, sources close to the club have hinted at growing concern behind the scenes particularly with a crucial shareholders’ meeting set for November 7, 2025, coinciding with CEO Maurizio Scanavino’s planned departure after three years in charge.

A Club Still Rebuilding Its Reputation

The investigation threatens to undermine the progress Juventus have made in restoring their image after a turbulent few years marked by sanctions and controversy.

In 2023, UEFA fined the club €20 million (£17m/$22m) for irregularities related to licensing and Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules. Half of that amount was suspended pending compliance reviews for 2023, 2024, and 2025 the very seasons now under examination.

Domestically, Juventus have also faced punishment from Italian football authorities. In 2023, the FIGC deducted 10 Serie A points from the club for alleged false accounting and the artificial inflation of player transfer values. Although the original 15-point deduction was later reduced on appeal, the scandal significantly damaged the club’s public reputation.

Club Leadership Maintains Confidence

Despite the renewed controversy, Juventus executives maintain that the club remains compliant with UEFA’s financial regulations. They point to a series of cost-cutting measures, player sales, and wage reductions as evidence of a genuine commitment to financial sustainability.

Still, UEFA’s decision to reopen the case suggests lingering doubts over whether those reforms have been sufficient.

As the investigation unfolds, Juventus now face a crucial test not only to prove their financial integrity but also to protect the fragile progress made in reclaiming their status as one of Europe’s most respected football institutions.
