“Following excessive spending in relation to UEFA’s football revenue standards, the club has worked closely and constructively with the Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) to resolve the matter quickly.
“The club has therefore accepted a three-year agreement which includes a fine of €3 million, with a further €7 million being withheld for future compliance.
“UEFA has also decided to pay the club an additional €3 million because they have breached UEFA’s SCR (Squad Cost Ratio) target of 70% for 2025.
“Newcastle United appreciates UEFA’s thoughtfulness and remains committed to ongoing compliance.”
