MADRID: Italian soccer club Juventus has sent Real Madrid and FC Barcelona a letter informing them it was abandoning the failed Super League project following its management revamp, Spanish state news agency EFE reported on Tuesday .None of the three immediately responded to a Reuters request for comment.
