Eleven Italian clubs have sent Serie A chairman Paolo Dal Pino a letter requesting that Juventus, Internazionale and AC Milan be sanctioned for their involvement in the intended Super League. The letter writers are particularly concerned about new attempts to launch such a competition.
Roma, Torino, Bologna, Genoa, Sampdoria, Sassuolo, Spezia, Benevento, Crotone, Parma and Cagliari explicitly ask ‘to analyze the actions of the clubs’. AC Milan, Internazionale and Juventus are said to have ‘damaged Italian football by acting in secret’. The eleven clubs want to quickly come to an emergency meeting with the twenty clubs from the Serie A.
According to the eleven, not all clubs have yet formally withdrawn from the Super League, which may be a sign that they are still hoping for a restart. “To date, they have not formally announced their withdrawal. As a result, there is still the possibility that a new attempt will be made to start the Super League. That would be unacceptable. “
The arrival of the Super League was announced on the night from Sunday to Monday by twelve major clubs, including Juventus, Milan and Inter. After fierce criticism, many clubs quickly decided to withdraw from the initiative. Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and Chelsea were the first clubs on Tuesday evening.
A day later, Atlético Madrid, Inter and AC Milan also followed, although the clubs from Milan emphasized in their statement that ‘change is needed’. Juventus did not withdraw at all and, like Real Madrid and Barcelona, even remains an open supporter of the Super League.
