Udinese’s finances

From its published accounts and league records. Figures compare only with clubs at the tier it played that season.

Against its tier

Udinese's revenue of €69.4m is the 12th highest of the 19 Serie A clubs with published accounts

In 2024-25 it spent €0.61 on staff for every €1 of revenue; the typical Serie A club spent €0.69.

Revenue19 clubs
Staff per €1 of revenue19 clubs

Each club's newest recorded accounts since 2021–22, at the tier it played that season. If that year's revenue cannot be separated from player trading, the club is omitted rather than using an older year. Coverage counts comparable accounts, not every club with financial data. Revenue excludes player-sale income. Where that income is included in the published total, we subtract the statement's separately reported player-trading figure. Some statements group loan fees and other player income with sale gains; those are removed together. Otherwise loan fees remain included. These are comparisons across accounting formats, not identical revenue definitions. Udinese: Value of production €141.7m − reported player trading €72.3m = €69.4m (calculated). Deduction: plusvalenze: gains on disposal of players' registrations. The scales are logarithmic.
