The phrase belongs to the club director.
Trying to shift the blame onto others
Eleven Juventus managers have received suspensions. Paratychi was suspended for 30 months. Agnelli and Arrivabene were banned from football for two years. Nedved and Garimberti were sentenced to 8 months each. The board of directors resigned in late November. Then came the worst of punishments: the removal of 15 points, even if they threaten to take another twenty following a different verdict.
leaked phone records of former leaders. They don’t care if they discussed something personal, but when football matters are in the spotlight, you can meet something important for Juventus fans. For example, former director Cherubini – banned for 16 months, complained to Agnelli’s boss about his colleagues’ financial habits:
Our worst player is paid the same as Atalanta’s best player. Duvan Zapata earns 1.8 million euros. If we had hired the dog we would have given her a salary of 3 million euros.
Cherubini has been critical of former Juventus chief financial officer Stefano Bertola. It can be seen that there was a search for generals. Chelsea also had the cavalry of Empress Granovskaya. But Abramovich and Marina Vladimirovna made the key decisions themselves. Who are Bertola and his colleague Re to stand above the sporting director?
That Juventus was illiterate in spending money earned by players and fans is easy. And it will be an open source work. Management errors are obvious. Numerous bosses have been dispersed, but Agnelli would rather stay than Elkann forbid a relative from approaching Juventus with a cannon shot.
Juventus crippled Ronaldo’s salary
Only Agnelli and Elkann could approve a €117m transfer with a salary of €31m without bonuses. At the same time, Cherubini criticized not this decision, but the transfer of Chiesa, even if Juventus will find a buyer who will distribute more than 42.5 million euros for the young European champion. The market value of Federico’s transfer is estimated at at least 60 million euros. The player could have served for years if Juventus had intelligent managers.
Ronaldo’s transfer would not financially justify even a win Champions League. Turintsy participated in two finals, from which he earned a lot of money Uefa, but their main deal fell through. Ronaldo’s salary was higher than all expenses for the players of the four Serie A clubs. The Portuguese’s salary was equal to a third of the expenses of Milan, which was preparing to become champions in two years. He created too big a difference between salaries.
Chiesa was paid €5 million, Chiellini €3.5 million and Buffon €1.5 million. The prosecutors will now verify the latest amount, because Cherubini has defined Demiral’s minimum salary as 1.8 million euros. But the ex ds Agnelli didn’t lie about the salaries at Atalanta. Gomez, who quarreled with Gasperini and left, received 2 million euros, Ilicic, Muriel and Zapata were paid 1.8 million each, Miranchuk received one and a half, Malinovsky only 1 million.
It is clear that Ronaldo must be paid a lot, salary also for status, not just for the 29 goals in Serie A in the first season. But Real Madrid, Barcelona and individual clubs Premier League he can afford such exceptions, and Juventus skimped on veterans and destroyed the team, because not all contracts were logical.
Overpaid De Ligt, Ramsey and Sandro
Hakimi earned 5 million euros at Inter, Sandro at Juventus as many as 6. Koulibaly was paid to Naples for that much. Immobile, despite him being a Golden Shoe striker, he had a salary of 4 million euros. Lukaku received 7.5 at Inter. And this is less than what the Juventus leaders have given de Ligt out of goal. Interestingly, did Raiola once bribe financial directors of clubs? Mino took this secret with him to the afterlife.
Juventus were frankly throwing money away. Morata, Bernardeschi and Arthur each received 5 million euros. For 15 million euros, Inter Marotta supported Lukaku, Martinez, Bastogne and Brozovic. Is it worth mentioning that Conte became Italian champion two years ago and Juventus finished in fourth place with Ronaldo, thirteen points behind the Milanese? In the championship season, Lautaro received 2.5 million euros.
At Juventus this is the salary of Bentancourt, Kulusevski and McKenney. What unites them? He now represents the clubs Premier League. De Ligt to Bayern. Dybala went to Roma for free, he didn’t get 7.3 million euros a year. But it was deals like the one with Ramsey that pushed the most. Aaron was untied 7 million euros, which shocked everyone. How can a man with permanent injuries be paid twice as much as Giorgio Chiellini?
Fundamental to restart Juventus
They have no intention of repenting, but although within the club, conclusions should be drawn. It was also fortunate that the transfers weren’t as crazy as Barcelona’s with Bartomeu. But Juventus will pay 81.6 million euros for Vlahovic, who is struggling to integrate into Turin. Morata was borrowed for 20 million, but was unable to take advantage of Romero’s talents, taken from Genoa for 31.5 million. At the same time, Atalanta received the future world champion for only 17 million euros.
But Tottenham gave fifty million for the defender (and another five with bonuses). Curiously, did the numerous Juventus administrators guess to write a clause on the percentage of future sale in the contract? Even if for a moment you imagine that all the financial transactions of Juventus managers in recent years are very clear before the law, how can you evaluate Paredes’ loan with a salary of five million euros? Leandro does not sew a queue to the new team.
This is not Rabiot, who is running out of money in the new season, even if his goal is to leave as soon as possible. Agnelli and former subordinates should have started from themselves in assessing the reasons for Juventus’ financial collapse, which led to injections of money from outside and payment schemes. The people who gave Ramsey €7m a year – Aaron had 14 injuries at Juventus – could pay the hamster €1m as Schesny’s replacement.
