UEFA may exclude the Italian "Juventus" from the European Cups due to 

unsportsmanlike conduct

related to the overestimation of transfer fees and manipulations with players' salaries.

This was reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport.

On the eve, the Turinese were already 

deprived of 15 points in the Italian championship

, but the punishment for the "Old Signora" may not be limited to this.

The Italian giant risks receiving a "ban" from UEFA for participation in European competitions.

Earlier, UEFA fined Juventus 3.5 million euros for violating financial fair play.

If the club does not meet the required parameters again in the coming years, the fine will increase to 23 million euros.

As for the exclusion from the European Cups, it is not about the current season, in which the team was relegated from the Champions League and will continue fighting in the Europa League, but about the following ones.

If, according to the results of the current campaign, the "Bianconeri" will not be able to break into the European arena, then the "ban" will become effective when the Turinese manage to do so.

We will remind, at the end of November last year, the management of "Juventus" 

left their positions

 in full force after accusations of financial fraud.

  • After dropping 15 points, Juventus dropped from third to 10th place in Serie A. Massimiliano Allegri's team now has 22 points.

    The people of Turin plan to appeal this decision.

  • Stara Signora will play its next match on January 22 at home against Atalanta.

It will be recalled that earlier, due to the corruption scandal of 2006, Juventus was already transferred to the lower division - Serie B. Then the Turin club was also deprived of the Scudetto won in the 2004/05 and 2005/06 seasons.
