Several Serie A clubs are in shock as they risk having their transfer window blocked. The reason for this is a new parameter included by the Italian Football Federation and called 'extended labor costs'.
The football government in the Apennine country recently approved the reduction of this parameter; from June 2026 the maximum limit will go from 80% to 70%, but Italian U-23 players are excluded here to favor the youth academy more and to give more breathing space to the clubs' coffers.
According to the Italian daily 'Il Messaggero', this scenario could cause problems for several teams starting in January, including Lazio, whose summer transfer window has already been blocked, Napoli, Atalanta, Fiorentina, Torino and Genoa, with the latter five risking capital gains or capital increases to avoid blocking the transfer window.
By November 30, all clubs must submit their balance sheets for their situation as of September 30 to the new Commission, which will evaluate them before sending them to the Federation. Only then will it become clear whether these other clubs will also experience what Lazio is experiencing.
But the concerns are not just for the upcoming transfer window. From June 2026, Serie A clubs will have to comply with UEFA's new parameters for economic indicators or face fines and a transfer ban.
