"Newcastle United are back in the Champions League this season and therefore must abide by financial controls imposed by the competition's governing body UEFA. In the Premier League, clubs are allowed to lose up to 105 million over the course of three seasons, but in Europe, that figure is halved. Newcastle's recent financial reporting, concerning the period 2022-2025, indicates the club can expect a financial sanction, similar to those handed down to Aston Villa and Chelsea in seasons past."
"The club are not able to include the profit made on Allan Saint-Maximin and Elliot Anderson's sales to Al-Ahli and Nottingham Forest, respectively. Saint-Maximin's move was deemed to have been made between two related parties (Newcastle and Al-Ahli are both owned by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund), while Anderson's switch to Forest was regarded by UEFA as a swap deal, which saw goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos heading the other way."
Newcastle United returned to the Champions League and must comply with UEFA's financial controls, which halve the Premier League's three-season 105 million loss allowance to a €52m limit for European competition. Recent financial reporting for 2022–2025 shows Newcastle have comfortably breached the €52m loss limit. Profits from Allan Saint-Maximin's transfer to Al-Ahli and Elliot Anderson's move to Nottingham Forest cannot be counted by UEFA because Saint-Maximin's transfer involved related parties and Anderson's deal was treated as a swap. A €38m pre-tax loss was submitted for 2023–24, and prior heavy spending produced substantial 2022–23 losses. Increased 2024–25 revenues may improve finances but previous losses are likely sufficient to trigger a fine under UEFA spending rules.
