UEFA are expected to punish Juventus, a report claims.
This morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport speaks about the situation that Juventus are currently facing when it comes to participating in European competitions next season after their 15-point penalty was revoked for the time being.
The paper writes that UEFA cannot wait too long for the investigations that are ongoing in Italy, given that there are registrations for their competitions to be completed in view of the summer.
If the investigation into the capital gains case lengthens, UEFA will not wait for Italian judges but will independently decide the fate of Juve with their own parallel investigation, and it is likely their behaviour falls under the ‘unsportsmanlike’ category.
That could mean a season-long ban from European competitions so winning the Europa League or finishing in the top four would not change anything.
This also only refers to the capital gains case, so it is worth recalling that there is a separate inquiry into the payment of salaries during Covid plus the Super League sentence from the EU Court expected in June.
