Today, the European Football Union (UEFA) fined Roma two million euros, and threatened the Istanbul Başeşehir team with a one-year suspension from European competitions, for violating financial rules.
The rule of financial fair play was approved in 2009, and it implies that the club must not spend drastically more money than the income it can prove that it has achieved.
UEFA last season required clubs not to spend more than 90 percent of their revenue on player wages and transfer fees.
According to the UEFA report, Roma slightly exceeded the medium limit of this rule.
Başeşehir was fined 100,000 euros for slightly exceeding the final limit, with the threat of being suspended from the next European competition in which it is placed in the next three seasons, if it does not adapt to the rules.
Aston Villa was fined 60,000 euros, while Marseille was fined 20,000 euros, for exceeding the deadline for submitting financial reports.
Despite being fined in previous years, Paris Saint-Germain, Inter Milan and Milan did not break financial rules last season, Srna news agency writes.
