Agnelli Family To Inject Funds Into Juventus Amid Financial Concerns

‎Juventus may require additional funds to stabilize its finances following the departure of manager Thiago Motta.

‎The Italian club announced that its main shareholder has committed to providing 15 million euros ($16 million) in anticipation of a possible share issuance.

‎Juventus, which has been controlled by the Agnelli family for a century, has been forced to raise around 900 million euros from its shareholders over the past six years.

‎Exor, owned by the Agnelli family, has agreed to provide a cash contribution of 15 million euros in anticipation of a potential future share issue, the club announced late on Friday.

‎This month, Juventus replaced Motta with former player Igor Tudor after two consecutive heavy defeats in a disappointing season, with the club standing fifth in Serie A.

‎The club stated that recent on-field performance and Motta’s departure had led them to reevaluate the results for this quarter and the next, along with the outlook for the 2025/26 financial year.

‎Juventus’ financial year runs from July 1st to June 30th.

‎The club stated that its overall targets under the plan through 2027 remain intact.

‎However, the review has highlighted a potential need for a cash injection, which could range from 15 million euros up to 10% of its market value.

‎Juventus was worth 1.14 billion euros at Friday’s closing price.

‎Exor could cover the cash call in full but would invest at least enough to keep its stake unchanged, Juventus said.

‎A final decision on the capital hike will be taken after the current season and the summer transfer campaign for players.

‎Juventus swung to a profit in the first half of this fiscal year, thanks to its return to Europe’s lucrative Champions League competition, but it does not expect a net profit for the full year.

‎The club faced a 10-point deduction in the 2022/23 season and was banned from European competitions in 2023/24 due to accounting issues.

‎It has denied any wrongdoing, stating that its accounting practices align with industry standards.
