The stark denial: "These assumptions are groundless"

The è indiscretion came by way of Il Giornale. According to the well-known media outlet, the Agnelli family is reportedly considering giving up control of Juventus. The idea would be to find a buyer who is able to guarantee the Old Lady a financially important future. This would be the goal of the current company.

A rumor that has destabilized the entire Juventus people. Juventus è has always belonged to the Agnelli family, the last big Italian family to run a top club at home. Inter, Milan, Roma, Fiorentina are just some of the Italian clubs currently in the hands of foreign owners. Will Juventus be next?

No, at least for the moment. "The hypotheses aired by a daily newspaper about the sale of Juventus are devoid of any foundation", says a spokesman for Exor, the Agnelli family holding company that controls the Juventus company. In short, the Agnelli family would have no intention of giving up the family jewel. Despite the many problems it has had over the past few years, especially extra-chief, Exor seems determined to continue betting on the Old Lady, obviously trying to make it a virtuous company (what Giuntoli is starting to do).
