Juventus and Napoli are engaged in a squabble on the pitch, but also between their leaders. Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis opposes Juventus’ participation in next year’s Club World Cup in the United States. The Neapolitan has hired lawyers to take legal action against the Bianconeri according to Tuttosport. For him, since Juventus was sanctioned by UEFA for not having respected the rules of financial fair play, FIFA should also exclude the Piedmontese club from its future competition. A request refused by the world football body.
“Juventus will qualify for the FIFA Club World Cup if Napoli and Lazio fail to qualify for the Champions League this month” FIFA clarified. For Lazio, it’s already over since the Romans were eliminated Tuesday evening against Bayern. Napoli can keep hope if they qualify next week against Barça.
