Juventus facing serious financial allegations with Leeds United star caught up in mess

Leeds United loanee Weston McKennie may have to testify in court as part of the ongoing investigation into Juventus' financial scandal, according to reports in Italy. The Serie A club were docked 15 points for false accounting following an appeal hearing at the Italian football federation earlier this year.

The Old Lady are accused of deliberately inflating player valuations during transfers in order to boost “capital gains” and comply with UEFA's financial regulations. The entire Juventus board stepped down from their positions in November and have denied any wrongdoing.

Former Juventus president Andrea Agnelli was given a two year ban from football activities while long bans were also handed out for other members of the previous board. Juve’s former sports director Fabio Paratici, was banned from football in Italy but has now been forced to step down as managing director of football at Tottenham, with FIFA extending his ban to the UK.
