Inter are negotiating with UEFA to reduce their punishment for joining the European Super League, a leading Italian broadcaster confirmed tonight.
As per Sky Sport Italia (via FcInter1908.it), all 12 clubs who signed up to the project will receive strong sanctions from European football’s governing body.
UEFA are determined to punish the Super League rebels for their attempted breakaway, but their actions will be less severe for any clubs who have opened negotiations with them.
Inter and AC Milan are the two clubs thought to be in talks at present, meaning they could be spared the harshest sanctions.
Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona are at far greater risk, the report explained, having still failed to distance themselves from the project which collapsed within 72 hours of its launch.
UEFA are even considering banning all three clubs from European competition for a certain period, if they do not review their positions soon.
All 12 clubs signed up to UEFA’s new Champions League reforms 48 hours before they announced their participation in the Super League, which could lead to disciplinary proceedings.
UEFA’s executive committee – which includes the Italian Football Federation’s president Gabriele Gravina – are already at work to study possible legal action against the rebels.
Sky’s report tallies with a story from ESPN last night, which claimed Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona could be hit with a two-year European ban.
