Aston Villa hit with a €22.5m fine for a breach of Squad Cost Ratio. €15m is conditional.
“The CFCB First Chamber took into consideration the improving trend in their squad cost ratio between 2024 and 2025 in line with projections submitted as part of their settlement agreement. As a result, the fine is conditional upon the clubs continuing to significantly decrease their squad cost ratio in 2026.”

@DeanJamesAFC I think we deffo have a budget in mind, we clearly don’t wanna pay more than 70. We liked Tonali early but not when quoted 100, our other reported targets now are Guimares, bouaddi, Scott which are doable for 60-70.
