[Saba Sports News] According to Italian media reports, Juventus currently suffers a book loss of around 80 million euros. It is reported that Luciano Spalletti and John Elkann are set to hold talks. Club executives will also communicate with all relevant parties one by one this week to fully figure out the actual situation. The management’s top priority is to sort out internal conflicts and root causes of problems, and carry out substantial rectification after identifying key issues. They will avoid impetuous moves, yet the current situation brooks no delay. The team is in urgent need of a thorough transformation, which is bound to happen. Time is increasingly pressing, and this long-awaited change is highly anticipated. There are multiple tactical adjustment options on the pitch, but financially, the club has only one viable backup plan that most people tried to avoid facing. To put it plainly, Juventus needs further capital injection and launch a capital increase plan.
The editor believes that Juventus have firmly secured qualification for next season’s Europa League, and the revenue from the competition can offset part of their losses. Conservatively estimated, reaching only the last 16 of the Europa League will earn the club around 20 million euros in basic prize money. Combined with matchday gate receipts and commercial partnership income, the team can bridge a funding gap of roughly 50 million euros at the very least.
