Roma fined €6m by UEFA and Summerville deal collapses

Roma hit with €6m UEFA fine

UEFA dropped a €6 million bill on Roma this morning. The club breached the financial fair play settlement agreement, €2m for missing the intermediate target for the year ending 2025, and another €4m because the squad cost ratio topped 70% for the 2025 calendar year (2). That stings for a club already fighting to reshape its squad.

Summerville race over, wages kill the deal

Roma are out. Crysencio Summerville will not be coming to the Olimpico this summer. His wage demands were simply too high, and Manchester United now lead the chase ahead of West Ham (1). No hard feelings, just a line Roma were not willing to cross.

Fan reactions

The fine has landed exactly as you would expect on the subreddit. Fans are mostly pointing to the numbers, the €2m plus €4m breakdown is what gets cited most. The thread r/ASRoma reads less like outrage and more like a weary nod: another FFP line, another fine.
