If Napoli is actually interested in defending the title successfully, they should actually think about bringing in players who will make the team strong. Defenders are obviously going to be very important for the team. Losing a really good player, like Min Jae Kim is obviously going to be big for a club that is defending the title.

My recommendation is that Napoli seriously contemplate the recruitment of a formidable player - someone capable of seamlessly filling the void left by Kim. However, it appears that thus far, the club is attempting to address this issue with their existing squad members. The predicament lies in the fact that the current players may not possess the necessary qualities to strike a delicate balance within the team.

Most times it's very difficult to replace a player that is very good. It's not like that player is the best in the world in his position, but getting a player better than or as good as the player that left can cost more that you imagined.
Imagine Napoli goes all out of a quality defender that is up to the pedigree of Kim, how much do you think they'll spend? In my opinion, it would be nothing less than €70 million. This is a club that sold Kim because they needed money to balance some things.
When a player like that leaves, it's not a must to get an equal replacement, the team can adapt and play without him and it will be like he never left.
Napoli have not sold many of their top players which is a good thing. With the players they have they can compete for tye league next season. They just need a few additions for quality squad depth and they'll be good.

In football and in clubs things must be very dynamic, if a player leaves a team it is because he really had to leave, if the club did not make a greater effort to retain him then it is because they did not really want him, these things must be accepted by the players, for this reason they let him go, but it should not be like trying to cover holes in the teams, it is true that a player can make a difference, but a well-integrated complete team makes things much better, in Personally , every team needs good players, but if they leave they have to quickly find others who can do their job.

What do the Italian members think about the penalty given to Juventus? Was it the right decision? As you are from that country, I'm curious about your opinions, since you have more control over the events.
From the outside, Juve's situation looks very bad. Every year they get a different punishment. They had deleted points in Serie A last season. They are now banned from the Conference League. Do you think they will receive a separate penalty in the Italian League again?
It's very sad that the name of such a well-established club is only mentioned with scandals. I can't even imagine the disappointment of the fans.

This ban is not from the Italian Football Federation but from UEFA. Investigations were carried out and it was discovered they Juventus violated Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules by UEFA between 2012 and 2019. And the investigating body has evidence to prove that it is true. The club is suffering from the illegal or criminal business activities of past top management officials. It is sad to see a team that has surmounted so many challenges to qualify for the Europa Conference League only to lose the slot because of the club's past errors.

Juventus is now a team that is unpredictable because more shady deals can be discovered in the future and sanctions will still follow. Maybe coach Massimiliano Allegri should start considering accepting the offer from Saudi Arabia because the future of Juventus is no more guaranteed. And it is disappointing for a coach that has given his all, only to lose what he has fought for because of the misdeed of past management. Lukaku that decided to abandon Inter for Juventus should also be aware that he will not be playing in any European competition this season.

Personally, these things seem very unfair to me, firstly because the players and Allegri are not to blame, this is like the time they discovered the corrupt FIFA president, who did they get out? to only him, the others who were involved did nothing to him, so this is not and should not be so, what he does or manages to do with the equipment is to destroy them, I do not agree, who should be found here and made to pay They are the managers of that time without touching the integrity of the players and coaching staff that they do now, that is why the laws or justice is unfair because those who have nothing to do with it pay, it is a shame that such a prestigious club is In this type of problem, it is very sad, I really do not like that an Ialian team or any team is under such a painful cause.

When we think about the punishments that should be assigned to those guilty of these things, I am sure that many escape and nothing happens to them, the long arm of the law does not reach there, it only covers those who are there fighting for their future, for having a great vision of football, this not only tarnishes football, this can bring down a club that has existed and that has a great history, I agree that sanctions be given, but those who they actually did this, not to the innocent.

But now? How do you get out of that situation?

UEFA bars Juventus from Conference League over FFP breaches

Quote

NYON: Juventus have been expellee from the Conference League by European federation UEFA and fined for breaching Financial Fair Play rules.

European football’s governing body has also fined Chelsea for breaching FFP rules as a result of “submitting incomplete financial information”. UEFA says the matter relates to transactions which took place between 2012 and 2019.

Juventus have been fined £17.14m, while Chelsea have been fined £8.57m.

The Italian club will only have to pay half of their fine if their financial records for the next three years comply with regulations, while Chelsea have already agreed to pay the settlement figure.

The Blues have spent around £600m on 19 new players since new owner Todd Boehly took charge of the club in May 2022, but their fine relates to a seven-year period while Roman Abramovich had control of the club.

UEFA said: “Following the club’s sale in May 2022, the new ownership identified, and proactively reported to Uefa, instances of potentially incomplete financial reporting under the club’s previous ownership.”

In a response, Chelsea said they “fully co-operated and assisted Uefa” in their investigations and “entered into a settlement agreement” with the governing body.

Chelsea added: “In accordance with the club’s ownership group’s core principles of full compliance and transparency with its regulators, we are grateful that this case has been concluded by proactive disclosure of information to UEFA and a settlement that fully resolves the reported matters.”

The Italian Football Federation must now notify UEFA as to which club will replace Juve in the third-tier European competition. It is likely to be Fiorentina, who were beaten by West Ham in last year’s final, after they finished eighth in Serie A.

The case against Juventus follows a 718,000 euro (£620,000) fine as part of a settlement agreement with Italian football authorities over a case concerning payment of player salaries.

Juventus had also been docked 10 Serie A points last season following a hearing into the club’s past transfer dealings.

They were initially handed a 15-point penalty in January but Italy’s highest sporting court overturned that decision in April and ordered the case to be re-examined. They would have finished fourth and qualified for next season’s Champions League had they not been sanctioned.

In response to the charge, Juventus said they accept Uefa’s decision and will not be lodging an appeal.
Club president Gianluca Ferrero said: “We regret the decision of the Uefa. We do not share the interpretation that has been given of our defence, and we remain firmly convinced of the legitimacy of our actions and the validity of our arguments.

“However, we have decided not to appeal this judgment.

These things are what disappoint me when it comes to UEFA, they are unfair things that are not worth it, nothing is learned from this.
