Juventus’ owners on Saturday publicly rejected a buyout offer from a cryptocurrency firm, leaving the most successful club in Serie A history under the control of the Agnelli family.
Tether, the cryptocurrency company, made an offer worth around 1 billion euros for the Agnelli family’s majority shares in Italy’s record 36-time champion.
«Juventus, our history and our values are not for sale,» John Elkann, CEO of Exor, the Agnelli family’s holding company, said in a video message on Juventus’ website.
“Juve has been part of my family for 102 years,” said Elkann. “Over the course of a century, four generations have encouraged it, strengthened it, cared for it in difficult times and celebrated it in its many festive moments.
“We continue to support our team and look to the future to build a winning Juve,” added Elkann, the grandson of Fiat tycoon Giovanni “Gianni” Agnelli.
Juventus has not won Serie A since winning nine titles in a row between 2012 and 2020. The Turin club fired Igor Tudor last month and hired Luciano Spalletti after a difficult start to the season.
Former Juventus president Andrea Agnelli and the club’s entire board of directors resigned in 2022 over a bogus accounting investigation.
Several of Italy’s other major clubs – AC Milan, Inter Milan, Roma – are owned by foreign investment companies. Juventus and defending champions Napoli, owned by Italian film producer Aurelio De Laurentiis, are the main holdouts.
“Exor confirms its previous, consistent statements that it does not intend to sell its shares in Juventus to any third party, including but not limited to El Salvador-based Tether,” Exor said in a statement.
“Juventus is a legendary and successful club, of which Exor and the Agnelli family have been stable and proud shareholders for more than a century. They remain fully committed to the club and support the new management team in implementing a clear strategy to deliver strong results both on and off the pitch.”
