Juventus has agreed to pay a fine of 718,000 euros (£620,000) as part of a settlement deal made with Italian football authorities on a matter involving the payment of player salaries.
Juventus already lost 10 points last week as a result of an independent probe into the team's prior transfer activity.
Juventus acknowledges the ten-point fine levied upon them by accepting the settlement and will not be subject to any further point deductions.

The recent settlement agreement marks the resolution of all ongoing cases involving the Turin Club. In addition to the fine imposed on Juventus, the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) also issued fines to several officials, including former vice-chairman Pavel Nedved and former sporting director and managing director Fabio Paratici.
However, it should be noted that the club's former president, Andrea Agnelli, who recently had his appeal against a two-year ban upheld, was not included in the current agreement. Agnelli's individual situation will be addressed separately in a hearing scheduled for June 15th.
In a statement, Juventus said the agreement would allow the club to "achieve a definite result" and overcome a "state of tension and instability".
The agreement reached by the club will allow head coach Massimiliano Allegri and the players to shift their focus towards planning for the upcoming season.
Initially, Juventus had received a 15-point deduction in January as a result of transfer dealings. However, this decision was overturned by Italy's highest sporting court in April, leading to a re-examination of the case.
Following the most recent 10-point deduction, Juventus now finds themselves in seventh place in Serie A, positioned outside of the European qualification spots. Nevertheless, they are only one point behind Roma and two points behind Atalanta in fifth place, offering them a chance to secure a spot in the Europa League or Europa Conference League.
With the final round of fixtures approaching, Allegri's side will travel to Udinese, hoping to achieve a positive result and potentially secure their European qualification.
