JAKARTA - Italian Football Association president Gabriele Gravina insists Juventus are in danger of being kicked out of Serie A should they not leave the European Super League.

The Bianconeri were one of 12 teams that set up the European Super League before six English teams (Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, and Arsenal) withdrew two days after the league was announced due to protests from supporters.

Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid followed in the footsteps of the Six English teams before AC Milan declared the league was no longer an option.

But Juventus, along with Real Madrid and Barcelona, have so far not backed down.

Sources told ESPN that all three clubs are at risk of being sanctioned by UEFA if they insist on the European Super League, whose maximum penalty is two years of being banned from competing in Europe.

"The rules are clear," Gravina told Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli, as reported by Antara on Tuesday, May 11.

"If at the beginning of next season Juve is still part of the European Super League, then they will not be allowed to participate in Serie A."

"It's going to embarrass all the fans, but there are rules and the rules are the same for everyone."

Last Saturday, Juve, Madrid, and Barcelona issued statements criticizing UEFA's threat of a European Super League establishment.

Nine clubs that have withdrawn have been financially punished by UEFA and have agreed to pay a total of 15 million euros as goodwill to be used for youth and grassroots football across Europe.

Juve is currently in danger of missing next season's Champions League qualifiers after losing 0-3 to Milan, who moved them into fifth or three points below the Italian League's top four, with three games remaining.
