The Italian Football Federation's (FIGC) prosecutor in the match-fixing scandal has confirmed that they are looking for all four clubs involved - Juventus, Milan, Lazio and Fiorentina - to be relegated.
Stefano Palazzo said that the FIGC would look for Milan, Lazio and Fiorentina to be demoted to Serie B - whilst Juventus, who are the most severely implicated in the proceedings, to be sent to Serie C at least.
The situation is nothing new for either Milan and Lazio as in 1980 they were both found guilty of match fixing and relegated, while Fiorentina are no strangers to lower league football having only recently returned to the top-flight following bankruptcy.
However, with Juventus - they have never been out of Italy's top-flight and to be demoted when currently champions of Serie A would be a huge blow to them as it would also likely cost them their place in the UEFA Champions League, as is also the case for Milan and Fiorentina.
Not making do with mere relegation, Palazzo also revealed that the FIGC would want Lazio, Fiorentina and Milan to start with a deduction of 15 points - making immediate promotion very difficult.
The case, which also implicates 26 officials including Juventus' former chief Luciano Moggi, continues at Rome's Olympic Stadium and a decision is expected next week.
