This thesis examines the role of capital gains arising from player transfers in professional football, with particular attention to their accounting, fiscal, and competitive implications. After framing this phenomenon within the context of club management, the study analyses how such capital gains may affect the presentation of financial statements, the economic and financial sustainability of football clubs, and the competitive balance within the sector. A specific focus is placed on the critical issues associated with the use of these transactions as a tool for improving reported financial results, as well as on potential reform pathways aimed at strengthening transparency, fiscal neutrality, and fair competition. The objective is to demonstrate how, in professional football, entrepreneurial freedom must be balanced with regulatory frameworks designed to preserve fair competition and the reliability of financial reporting, while also establishing more neutral criteria capable of ensuring objective and consistent assessments by sports judicial authorities.
La tesi analizza il ruolo delle plusvalenze nel calcio professionistico, con particolare attenzione ai profili contabili, fiscali e concorrenziali che ne derivano. Dopo aver inquadrato il fenomeno nel contesto della gestione societaria, si esamina come le plusvalenze possano incidere sulla rappresentazione del bilancio, sulla sostenibilità economico-finanziaria dei club e sugli equilibri competitivi del settore. Un focus specifico è dedicato alle criticità emerse nell’utilizzo di tali operazioni come strumento di miglioramento dei risultati d’esercizio, nonché alle possibili linee di riforma volte a rafforzare trasparenza, neutralità fiscale e correttezza concorrenziale. L’obiettivo è mostrare come, nel calcio professionistico, la libertà imprenditoriale debba essere bilanciata con regole idonee a preservare la leale competizione e l’affidabilità dell’informazione economica, oltre, d’altro canto, a stabilire criteri più neutri che possano determinare valutazioni oggettive e univoche da parte degli organi di giustizia sportiva.

Abstract
This thesis examines the role of capital gains arising from player transfers in professional football, with particular attention to their accounting, fiscal, and competitive implications. After framing this phenomenon within the context of club management, the study analyses how such capital gains may affect the presentation of financial statements, the economic and financial sustainability of football clubs, and the competitive balance within the sector. A specific focus is placed on the critical issues associated with the use of these transactions as a tool for improving reported financial results, as well as on potential reform pathways aimed at strengthening transparency, fiscal neutrality, and fair competition. The objective is to demonstrate how, in professional football, entrepreneurial freedom must be balanced with regulatory frameworks designed to preserve fair competition and the reliability of financial reporting, while also establishing more neutral criteria capable of ensuring objective and consistent assessments by sports judicial authorities.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
