The club mentioned that "the withdrawal will not be completed and will only take effect with the approval of Real Madrid and Barcelona." Former Juventus president Andrea Agnelli, a supporter of the project, has been suspended for 16 months from any activities related to the sport due to allegations concerning player payments.
