Roma have made considerable progress in terms of their finances under the Friedkin regime.
Through careful planning, smart collaboration with UEFA and the numerous partnerships and sponsorship deals gotten over the line in the course of the last year, Roma have been able to significantly improve their financial situation, writes La Gazzetta dello Sport.
In the past, Roma often found themselves needing to sell players by June 30th to make ends meet and comply with Financial Fair Play and the Settlement Agreement signed with UEFA in 2022.
However, this phase now seems to be over.
Today, the Giallorossi club can afford to invest in the market without the obligation of immediate sales, as demonstrated by the latest signings of Angelino from Leipzig for €5 million and of Buba Sangaré from Levante for around €1.2 million.
The improvement in Roma’s finances is evident, reports the Italian newspaper.
During the last season, the club recorded an increase in net profit of almost 25%.
Among the factors that contributed to this result are success in the retail and e-commerce sector, stadium revenues and new partnerships, such as the two-year €25 million agreement with Riyadh Season.
Thanks to this financial stability, Roma can now look to the market with new ambitions.
The focus is on young talents who can increase the club’s assets. Among the most interesting names, Guela Doué of Rennes, Fresneda, Tiago Santos, Vanderson, Riquelme, Diakité, Kalimuendo, Banza, Soulé and Omorodion stand out.
The club is also evaluating the signing of Mats Hummels, which however will depend on the sale of Smalling, to keep the defensive experience unchanged. However, the main objective remains to build a solid future through investing in quality young people, capable of becoming protagonists in the medium and long term.
At the same time the Friedkins are close to making the purchase of Everton official, which will become part of their galaxy of clubs, alongside Roma and Cannes.
This further expands the influence and resources of the Texan group in the world of football, allowing the Capitoline club to operate with greater flexibility and long-term vision.
