Juve sacrifices the C4 in front of UEFA, the C1 is more beautiful

After tampering with its accounts, Juventus was sanctioned by the Italian league. UEFA has also opened an investigation, threatening the European future of the Turinese. Juve took the lead with a simple idea: sacrifice the Europa League Conference to have peace.

Everything is going from bad to worse for Juventus Turin. Downgraded sportingly by Naples and the two clubs of Milan, the Old Lady suffered above all from the work of the Italian justice system. This looked at the accounts of the Turin club and the recent transfers made. Wobbly operations and an accounting inconsistency which forced the Italian league to sanction Juve. It took a penalty of 10 points in Serie A, depriving it of a place in the Champions League. The Bianconeri finally finished 7th, having to play the less attractive Europa League Conference. Better than nothing for Juventus, not really.

Juve demands its exclusion from the C4!

Sportingly, Juve does not want the C4. However, this competition could serve as a bargaining chip vis-à-vis UEFA. The European body has also opened an investigation into the financial irregularities of Juve. UEFA is close to sanctioning the Turin club for “ potential breaches of club license and financial fair play “. This would deprive Juventus of the European Cup for several seasons and therefore of the Champions League. A drama for the Old Lady who now uses the Europa League Conference to avoid this scenario and close the investigation as soon as possible.

According to the Italian media Tuttosport, Juventus is negotiating with UEFA to be excluded from the next C4 and thus pay for its faults in this way. A calculation motivated by the lack of sporting and financial interest in the competition but above all by the desire to be eligible for the Champions League 2024-2025. If the European body accepted the Turin proposal, Fiorentina would then be drafted for the Europa League Conference. The only inconvenience for Juventus would be to come up short for UEFA points for a season. Back off to better blow up ? Juventus think so more than ever.
