So, sure. Juventus should be in trouble. Somehow though, shady dealings will find a way!

And really, that scenario is weird. Like they nailed Juventus and I guess that was obvious. But they did these deals with other teams, and all those clubs were in the up and up, completely unaware? I'll admit, I didn't really follow this, but that doesn't seem like it makes any sense.
Juventus is Publicly Traded on the Italian Stock Exchange whereas the other clubs are Privately held.
