MILAN (Reuters) -Juventus will be excluded from next season's Serie A should the Italian soccer club decide to persist with the proposed European Super League project, the head of the Italian soccer federation (FIGC) said on Monday. Nine of the clubs who tried to breakaway, including six English Premier League teams, backed out of the Super League idea, but Juventus, Barcelona and Real Madrid are still involved in the project. "At the time of registration for the next Serie A championship the club will be excluded if they decide not to withdraw from the Super League." "We are fully aware of the diversity of reactions to the Super League initiative and, consequently, of the need to reflect on the reasons for some of them," their statement said on Saturday. The Super League argued it would increase revenue for the top clubs in Europe and allow them to distribute more money to the rest of the game.
