“What we have to understand is that the central problem here is COVID-19,” President Pulcinelli told the Corriere dello Sport.

“We are talking about an extraordinary event that has transformed the normal rules of any contract. There are no exceptions.

“I am simply looking after the interests of the club that I represent who, like many others, have no revenue right now and are suffering damages worth many millions.

“We will all emerge from this as losers, so it’s not just Stellone being penalised.”
