Juventus leaves European Super League project, denies UEFA threats

After multiple reports, Juventus have now issued a statement confirming they are leaving the European Super League project, with only Real Madrid and Barcelona remaining, but denying threats from UEFA.

“Referring to rumors in the press, Juventus Football Club SpA informs that it has sent a communication to the two remaining clubs which, as Juventus, have not exercised their withdrawal from the Super League Project (Football Club Barcelona and Real Madrid Club de Futbol) to initiate a period of discussion between the three clubs regarding Juventus’ potential exit from the Super League Project. The Company will proceed with all communications due under the law following the outcome of the interlocutions and assessments regarding the foregoing, stating that many of the reconstructed versions published by the media on the content of the communication (including any reference to alleged threats of potential sanctions from UEFA) are not true. “, we read on the official page of the club.

The story first emerged in Spain with Relevo, as both Real Madrid and Barcelona received letters from new CEO Maurizio Scanavino informing them that Juve were pulling out of the project. Diario AS then claimed it was because UEFA threatened to bar Juventus from their tournaments for the next five years. It’s part of a wider attempt by Juve’s new hierarchy to distance themselves from the Andrea Agnelli era, as the president and his entire board resigned a few months ago amid a scandal over financial irregularities.
