How much Champions League absence will cost Juventus

Juventus are set to miss out on the Champions League for the first time in a decade, something that’ll cost the club dearly next season.

The Bianconeri have not had an easy season. After a slow start to their campaign, the club were handed a 15-point deduction back in January by the FIGC court for falsifying their capital gains through inflated player transfer values.

Juventus appealed this to CONI’s Collegio di Garanzia, who temporarily annulled the penalty pending a new trial, allowing them to shoot back up to the top four spots. This did not last, however, as the FIGC court decided on May 22 to hand the club a 10-point deduction for their falsified capital gains, dropping them down to seventh in the league table.

As detailed by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus will not take part in the Champions League next season, missing out for the first time in a decade, and this will be felt in their budget.

Between UEFA bonuses and European nights at the Allianz Stadium, the Bianconeri will miss out on around €90m in potential revenues. Furthermore, their absence will likely impact their commercial contracts and international appeal, which could have further ramifications down the line.
