Juventus have officially confirmed their intention to withdraw from the proposed Superleague project with immediate effect. The news follows reports from Spanish media that the Bianconeri were threatened with a five-year ban from European competitions by UEFA, if they were to continue to be part of the proposed competition.
The club have now released an official statement, confirming the earlier news:
Turin, 6 June 2023 – With reference to rumors that appeared in today’s press, Juventus Football Club S.p.A. (“Juventus” or the “Company”) informs that it has transmitted a communication to the two remaining clubs that, as Juventus, have not exercised their withdrawal from the Super League Project (Football Club Barcelona and Real Madrid Club de Futbol) in order to initiate a discussion period among the three clubs concerning the potential Juventus’ exit from the Super League Project.
The Company will proceed with any communications due under the law following the outcome of the interlocutions and evaluations regarding the above, clarifying that many of the reconstructed version published by the media about the contents of the communication (including any reference to alleged threats of potential sanctions by UEFA) are not true.
