Juventus has been embroiled in several controversies, including its participation in the failed European Super League and accusations of financial impropriety.
However, the latest news from the club’s head of sports, Francesco Calvo, suggests that the club is not afraid of UEFA’s potential actions against them.
Calvo’s comments suggest that Juventus is confident that UEFA will not act against them until the legal proceedings in Italy are resolved.
Currently, there are three ongoing legal situations affecting the club: the Superlega case, capital gains issues, and salary inquiries.

The club is awaiting the final verdict from the EU Court of Justice regarding the Superlega, which has become more complicated following the Advocate General’s opinion.
The FIGC appeal ruling regarding capital gains could also have serious consequences for Juventus, and the salary inquiry could result in a penalty points increase.
Despite the multiple legal issues facing Juventus, Calvo’s comments suggest that the club is not afraid of UEFA’s potential actions.
However, this confidence may be misplaced, as UEFA has a history of imposing severe punishments on clubs that violate its rules, such as AC Milan and Manchester City.
Juventus’ recent history of financial impropriety could make them vulnerable to punishment, even if the legal proceedings in Italy are still ongoing.
Juventus is facing multiple legal challenges that could have significant consequences for the club.
While the club’s head of sports appears confident that UEFA will not act until the legal proceedings are resolved, the club’s history of financial impropriety could make them vulnerable to severe punishment.
It remains to be seen what actions UEFA will take, but Juventus should not underestimate the severity of the situation they find themselves in.
