Torino and Messina are facing the risk of expulsion from Serie A because of the state of their finances.
Covisoc, the body who must ratify that all clubs have the funds necessary to be registered for the new season, have found problems with both outfits.
As it stands now, they are not part of the First Division but the pair have until July 12 to appeal against the initial decision.
A final verdict on whether the clubs can compete in the top-flight next term is expected on July 15.
Numerous other clubs in lower Divisions are facing similar problems, with Perugia and Salernitana risking demotion from Serie B. A total of 16 clubs are in trouble in Serie C.
