According to ANSA, four legal opinions submitted by four lawyers all affirm that registered membership is a prerequisite for election as president of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC), a status that Giovanni Malagò does not possess. The documents do not list takeover of the FIGC as a direct and inevitable consequence. Medugno stated that the relevant assessment should be handled by the competent bodies of the Italian National Olympic Committee (CONI) and must consider the severity of the violations.

According to Article 7 of the CONI regulations, for the Executive Committee to make a related decision, they must confirm the existence of "serious violations within the sports system". This means the actions in question violate the fundamental rules, principles, or obligations of that system and are sufficiently serious to cause significant harm to the autonomy, normal operation, or proper fulfillment of the organization's objectives. The core issue will revolve around the severity of the violations. Medugno believes such a decision is "strictly technical and legal in nature (never political)" and requires assessment of whether there was "failure to act, negligence, or incompetence" in this matter, or whether the actions "reached the threshold of serious violations of the higher-level regulations and fundamental principles". Scoca also believes consequences should be assessed by the competent CONI body, but stated: "Electing an unregistered member is an invalid election."

All four opinions support the position of the Sports Prosecutor's Office. Article 29, paragraph 1 of the FIGC regulations states that candidates must "possess valid registered membership on the date of candidacy submission", meaning valid registered membership is a fundamental condition. The FIGC Prosecutor's Office previously clarified that "possessing valid registered membership" differs from "being a registered member oneself". Therefore, Coccia believes this is "a subjective condition for candidacy and corresponding electoral eligibility", while Angeletti states "there is no doubt". However, Angeletti also noted that Malagò's candidacy may not have been challenged within the timeframe specified in the regulations. Article 21, paragraph 4 of the regulations states that the Federal Guarantee Committee must immediately, and in any case no later than 7 days after the election, identify any potential incompatibilities. Angeletti wrote: "I have no information on whether any objections were filed within the timeframe mentioned."

Medugno also discussed appeals submitted by lawyer Renato Miele in recent months. He stated that these appeals, "even if not accepted, correctly identified a fundamental gap. The Federal Prosecutor's Office took no action to challenge it. FIGC ignored multiple requests from interested parties to access documents and did not appear in lawsuits filed against FIGC." He believes this election has a "congenital defect", but the only action CONI can take to restore the broken legal order falls within administrative measures. The article subsequently hypothesized an "administrative takeover", stating that the national executive committee would propose viable takeover recommendations, and the national committee would decide whether to adopt a resolution based on them.

Meanwhile, lawyer Renato Miele, who was excluded from the FIGC presidential election and was the first to raise the issue of Giovanni Malagò lacking registered membership, sent an official notice to CONI requesting the enforcement of obligations, urging the Executive Committee and National Committee to proceed with FIGC takeover. He believes that given the undeniable serious violations of the sports system by FIGC leadership, takeover is a necessary legal measure.
