But Juve added that they will discuss with Real
and Barca, the other clubs remaining in the project, a potential
exit.
"Juventus will proceed with any communications due under the law
following the outcome of the discussions and evaluations
(regarding a potential exit)," the club said.
"Much of the version published by the media about the contents
of the communication (including any reference to alleged threats
of potential sanctions by UEFA) are not true."
Neither Real nor Barca responded to a Reuters request for
comment. A spokesperson for the Super League was not immediately
able to comment.
The breakaway Super League was formed in April 2021, when 12 of
Europe's top football clubs launched a bid to wrestle control of
the game and its lucrative revenue away from European soccer
governing body UEFA.
The move collapsed within 48 hours amid fan and player criticism
that forced Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool,
Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, AC Milan, Inter Milan and Atletico
Madrid to pull out.
