YOGYAKARTA - Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain are among the ten clubs that will receive sanctions for violating Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules, according to reports. Then which clubs are sanctioned for FFP?

UEFA introduced the FFP in 2010 with the aim of preventing exponential spending by Europe's biggest teams. They also designed rules to try and stop clubs from operating with multiple debts.

Currently, regulations state that the team can spend up to lonze5 million (IDR 3.9 million) above the income they generate in a three-year evaluation cycle. For example, if a club generates a profit of 100 million in three seasons, they can spend up to 105 million. But UEFA makes concessions for additional expenses above this figure.

Clubs can suffer losses of up to way45 million above their expense allowances, although the amount of excessive expenses allowed is reduced year-on-year.

If a team violates these rules, they can receive some punishments. The worst is the ban from European competition. Meanwhile, fines, transfer bans, points reductions, and restrictions on the squad are all possible sanctions.

Juventus

The one (most recently) updated is the Italian League giant club (Seie A), Juventus. They have just received a 15-value reduction sanction in the standings for the 2022-2023 season.

FIGC sanctions in allegations of inflating player transfer points. But the latest info states that the FIGC plans to add additional sanctions.

Malaga

Long before Juventus, there was a Spanish club called the CF Malaga. This club became the first team to be severely punished {impactly "infeasible" in violation of the FFP.

They were sentenced not to participate in European competition for a season, to be precise in the 2013-2014 Europa League because they failed to pay the players' salaries.

Zenit St. Petersburg

Next there is a Russian club called Zenit St. Petersburg. In 2014, this club had received sanctions for violating the FFP.

At that time as many as nine European clubs signed a settlement agreement, the fruit of a violation of the FFP.

PSG

The fourth is French Ligue 1 giants, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). The club, which is now reinforced by Mbappe, Messi and Neymar, has also been proven to have received influence sanctions in violation of FFP regulations.

They are considered to be carrying out profit inflated through a sponge-like partnership with tourism authorities from Qatar.

AC Milan

Finally, there was the Italian League (Seerie A) champion last season, namely AC Milan. Just like Juventus, they have also violated FFP regulations.

AC Milan was banned from playing in the Europa League competition for the 2019-2020 season due to the financial cases they suffered from from 2015 to 2017.

Despite the "strict" rules, some European elites have outperformed FFP sanctions in the past. For example, PSG avoided punishment despite investigations into their massive spending in the 2017 and 2018 seasons.

In addition, Man City overturned the FFP decision following an appeal in 2020. Thanks to the appeal, City avoided a two-year ban on European football.

However, in 2022, 10 parties will be subject to sanctions for FFP violations. But which team are they?

It would not surprise anyone to see that Barcelona would reportedly be subject to sanctions for FFP violations in the last three years.

Ironically, the Catalan giants voiced their concern over last year's FFP effectiveness, per Reuters. They claim that it was played by the party who spent a lot of money and was one of the reasons why they supported the Super League plan.

News of this breach also comes ahead of proposed changes to the FFP system. Starting in 2023, European clubs can spend 90% of their income on salaries, transfers, and agent fees. This will then be 80% by 2024, and 70% by 2025.

Despite looking gloomy, the plan will also allow double the current allowable losses, from 30 million to 60 million.

Apart from the 10 sanctioned, twenty other teams are on UEFA's "monitoring list". This means that they are at risk of violating some financial fair play rules. One of these teams is current Premier League leader Arsenal.

Arsenal on the "monitoring list"

According to The Times, Arsenal is one of the clubs under scrutiny from UEFA. The Gunners have spent more than 250 million in the last two summers, prompting an investigation from UEFA.

In addition, Arsenal reported a loss of 213 million during the cycle of the last three years. This is another bad news in connection with the threat of sanctions from European football's governing body.

Danger against breaking the rules could also deter Arsenal from signing Pedro Neto. On Monday, The Athletic reported that the Gunners showed interest in the Wolves winger.

However, journalist Daniel Cutts has reported that while they are on the watch list, there are no concerns within the club over potential FFP violations, and Arsenal can continue to spend them.
