The news is the 40-day extension that the Prosecutor of the Football Federation has requested to complete the analysis of the 14 thousand pages of the Prisma investigation and bring Juventus to a new sporting process on salary maneuvers, partnerships with “friendly” companies and suspicious relationships with some agents: 3 charges that Giuseppe Chiné wants to enclose in a single file. Times are getting longer, but the substance does not change: Juventus risks another heavy penalty, and therefore also their permanence in Serie A, a very high fine, which would further weigh on budgets already deprived of the receipts from the European Cups and with probably less revenue from sponsorships. And then there are, there would be, also the disqualifications of the players who have signed the private document which could not be filed with the federation and which on the basis of the regulations can lead to the disqualification of at least one month.
This applies, among the players left in the squad, to Szczesny, Cuadrado, Bonucci, Rabiot and McKennie, and they would be heavy disqualifications, but the most important and sensational of all would be the one that would hit Paulo Dybala, once again at risk of being snubbed by his old club. A year ago, set aside like an iron, if not really old, certainly broken and too expensive, which could now see a month of Rome robbed for that document, signed perhaps – at the suggestion of his agent – precisely because he agreed to the request of the club, could have favored the subsequent renewal of his contract.
An unparalleled own goal, which Dybala (and Bernardeschi and Arthur, sure, but also Sarri?) will try to oppose the his own good faith, that is, he will say that he did not know what Juventus would have done with his postponed salary, but it will hardly be enough to dribble through the cruellest of punishments. Ronaldo, to quote another ex, probably better advised, didn’t sign that document and he doesn’t take any risks. Indeed, he can now hope to get back the 19 million not yet collected.
No matter how quickly a month passes, there would be important matches and points. And the real damage is would suffer a third party, Rome, which evidently has no responsibility in the matter. We have seen what changes from having or not having Joya on the pitch. Absurdly, during the disqualification there could even be a match against Juventus, which would derive a direct advantage from a fault on his part. Sensational, mocking and also unfair. We’ll see how it ends, but certainly this time too it’s better to start thinking about it, because otherwise it hurts more.
