Clubs featuring Neymar and Memphis Depay have been placed in arrears and now face a short deadline to resolve the outstanding issues or incur financial penalties.
The warning adds another layer of strain to a football calendar already shaped by tight budgets and high-profile recruitment. The situation is more severe in Serie B, where the number of clubs affected by delinquency problems is greater.
Those involved have only a few days to regularise their position. Failure to do so will bring fines, increasing the pressure on boards to settle the outstanding obligations quickly.
