S.S. Lazio is at risk of being blocked from the market, at least in the form of 'saldo zero'. The club is under scrutiny for respecting the parameter of the extended labor cost. According to Calcio e Finanza, the deadline for presenting the accounts to establish the respect of the parameter in view of the transfer market was set for Monday, June 1st. As reported by Il Corriere dello Sport, the risk would not only affect Lazio. In the scope of the checks, there would also be Monza, Venezia, and Sassuolo, clubs that could be called to move on the market with a balance of zero: in essence, to acquire, it would be necessary to generate equivalent income through sales. The parameter at the center of the issue is the CLA, the extended labor cost, which measures the ratio between the expenses incurred for sports personnel — salaries, amortizations, and commissions — and the club's income, including commercial and television rights. For the summer 2026 session, the threshold has been lowered from 0.8 to 0.7, making the constraint more stringent. The control for the summer window is carried out on data updated to March 31st. Normally, the verification takes place by May 31st, but this year, falling on a holiday, the measurement has been postponed to June 1st. In the event of exceeding the threshold, the company can avoid or attenuate the restrictions through an intervention by the shareholder, with an increase in capital or a payment by the shareholders to cover the losses. The discipline, however, has been partially modified after the disputes that emerged in the previous season (especially from Napoli): today it is possible to use also the reserves of profits present in the net worth, provided they are distributable to the shareholders. For Lazio, this would be a new delicate step after the previous one in the summer of 2025, when the club was hit by the heaviest sanction and could not operate regularly on the market. Napoli, on the other hand, was subject to a softer limitation, with an obligation of balance between income and expenses during the January market.
