Juventus: 'We will decide with Real and Barca out of the Super League'

Another step of Juventus towards reconciliation with the football government. This could be interpreted the letter that the Juventus club sent to Barcelona and Real Madrid, about the Super League. An initiative anticipated today by the Spanish media and confirmed in the evening by Juventus itself, with an official note. A statement in which there is still no talk of abandonment of the project and excludes a link with the next decisions of UEFA, called to express itself on possible sanctions for capital gains and 'salary maneuvers', with the risk of an exclusion of the Bianconeri from the next European season. After the plea bargain with the FIGC federal court, which closed the account with the Italian sports justice, the new move is of European scope: the probable step back on the Superleague. That it is definitive is premature to say, the Juventus club makes it clear that it "has transmitted a communication to the other two clubs that, like Juventus, have not exercised the withdrawal from the Super League project (Barcelona and Real Madrid) in order to start a period of discussion between the three clubs concerning the possible exclusion of Juventus from the Super League Project". There would still be evaluations to be made, therefore, before definitively sending to the attic the idea so dear to the former president Andrea Agnelli. Juventus "will proceed with any communications due by law to the outcome of the interlocutions and evaluations, - reads the note - specifying that many of the reconstructions reported by the press about the contents of the communication (including any reference to alleged threats of possible sanctions by UEFA) do not correspond to the truth". For the moment, Juventus' Europe for next season is the Conference League, thanks to the seventh place in the championship closed with 10 penalty points for the capital gains case. And in the coming days, probably after the Champions League final in Istanbul, the last act in the European field, UEFA will give the last verdict of the troubled Juventus season. The last reference to the Super League was made by John Elkann, chairman and CEO of Exor, owner of the Juventus majority, in the letter to the shareholders of the holding company of the Agnelli family, in mid-April: "Continental European football cannot keep up with the growing financial power of the Premier League. Football is still in the transition to a fully professional industry: it still lacks clarity as a whole, and this is creating financial and regulatory tensions," Elkann wrote.
