"Newcastle United's Champions League return could now come at a cost because of the losses recorded. The club is expected to be hit by UEFA sanctions after overspending during the 20222025 monitoring period. Under Premier League regulations, teams can lose up to 105 million over three years, but UEFA halves that allowance to 52 million. According to The Athletic, Newcastle have comfortably breached this European limit, leaving the club braced for punishment similar to those previously issued to Chelsea and Aston Villa."
"Some of their key players' sales will not ease Newcastle's deficit. Allan Saint-Maximin's 23 million move to Al-Ahli is excluded from UEFA's assessment due to both clubs' links with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, while Elliot Anderson's switch to Nottingham Forest counts as a swap involving Odysseas Vlachodimos. For the 202324 season, Newcastle reported heavy losses of 38 million before tax, mainly because of the heavy spending during the 202223 campaign to strengthen Eddie Howe's side."
"Even though Newcastle sanctioned a record-breaking 130 million deadline day sale of Alexander Isak to Liverpool, it is unlikely to fully shield them from punishment. However, the profit will soften the blow of UEFA's decision. Newcastle United set to break transfer record for Barcelona star Chelsea and Aston Villa have been punished Previously, UEFA have shown their strictness when it comes to overspending. Chelsea were fined 27 million upfront, with a further 52 million penalty suspended under a four-year compliance agreement,"
Newcastle United has breached UEFA's European spending limit for the 20222025 monitoring period and faces likely sanctions under UEFA financial rules. UEFA allows 52 million in losses over three years for European assessment, half the Premier League's 105 million allowance, and Newcastle comfortably exceeded the European threshold. Heavy spending in the 202223 campaign and reported 202324 pre-tax losses of 38 million drove the deficit. Some player sales will not reduce the UEFA-assessed deficit, with Allan Saint-Maximin's 23 million move excluded and Elliot Anderson's transfer treated as a swap. The 130 million sale of Alexander Isak will soften but likely not eliminate potential penalties.
