The Turin soccer club Juventus is in trouble and the reverberations of the scandal with financial irregularities are not dying down. Now other recordings have come to light, in which sports director Federico Cherubini plays the main role. They were published by the newspaper Corriere della Sera.
Juventus can slowly write off this season. The team led by coach Massimiliano Allegri was already eliminated from the Champions League in the group stage, and in the Italian Serie A, after deducting 15 points, it is in 9th place. The loss to the position that will allow him to play directly in the group stage of the European Cups is already 12 points.
The “old lady” has a chance to save the season in the European League, where she will meet French Nantes in the round of 16.
Why is the multiple Italian champion so low in the table? This is affected by 15 deducted points, which are the result of frauds associated with the overcharging of players during transfers and the concealment of payments during the coronavirus pandemic.
In addition, new facts are coming to light in the background of these events, while the latest revelations concern the recording of sports director Federico Cherubini.
“Our worst footballers, like the best Duván Zapata in Atalanta, earn 1.8 million euros per season. We would also buy a dog and give him 3.5 million euros,” he stated in one of the telephone interviews.
Former sporting director Fabio Paratici, who was criticized for signing Gonzalo Higuaín, was also a topic. “We were too arrogant in the transfer market. Fabio bought Higuaín for 90 million euros. Fabio 5 years ago would have taken Gabriel Jesus for 10 million euros and sold him for 90 million euros.” emphasized Federico Cherubini.
He was also against Federico Chiesa joining the team: “He doesn’t look like the right profile of a player who could stay at Juventus for many years, given that those around him count on constant salary increases.”
Former Juventus chairman Andrea Agnelli was aware of the club’s poor investment in recent years and noted: “If I put together, from 2010 when I arrived until today, the stupid things we did in the last three days on the market, we threw 60 to 70 million euros down the drain… I would tell you that. “
