Juventus have found themselves in big trouble in recent weeks, all as a product of bad business years ago. The club was deprived of 15 points due players transfer frauds, but that’s not all. It is not excluded that one of the punitive measures will be expulsion from Europe for several years. Regardless of all that, the owner of the Old Lady of Turin, John Elkann, insists that the Bianconeri are not for sale. In an interview with a French economic newspaper, he confirmed numerous problems, but along the way he supported the current president, Andrea Agnelli, his cousin.Gianni Agnelli on Juventus: “I see many people buy teams for self promotion, others as a form of redemption, or for other reasons. I inherited the team and naturally loved it, as I hope the next generation will as well.” John Elkann will not be selling Juventus anytime soon. ⚫️⚪️ pic.twitter.com/6vrqRi88tY— Mike ⚫️⚪️ (@JuventinoMC) December 5, 2022 “Andrea remains a shareholder in our holding Giovanni Agnelli BV, where he is part of the board. He made excellent work as a Juventus President for 10 years and decided to step down along with the club’s board to better defend himself from accusations that, as of today, have absolutely not been proven” said Elkann, as quoted by Calcio&Finanza.Deducting points is only the tip of the iceberg: Doubtful transfers, “black books”… Juventus are threatened with expulsion from Europe!One of the reasons he supports the man who was in the middle of the fraud is for one, he is a close family member, and second, investigators believe that Agneli was informing his cousin Elkann of all his doings, including the alleged falsification of their financial statements. The easiest things to do would be just to sell Juventus, but for the man who was chosen to be the hair by the ‘man’ himself, Gianni Angelli, such an option doesn’t exist. “It’s a strong bond which resisted various crisis during its existence. I don’t want to abandon one of the passions of my grandfather. I’ve always admired his courage. If there is an example he gave me, it is to always take responsibility, also in difficult moments” said Elkann. Gloomy days in Turin: At least 80,000,000 euros from the Champions League to be lost, shares’ value crashingGianni Agnelli is one of the most famous bosses in the history of football and a prominent member of the Agnelli family, a great industrialist. Back in 1997, he chose his successor in the form of his grandson John Elkann (then 21 years old), the son of his daughter Marguerite. Since 2004, Elkann chairs the automaker Stellantis and is the chief executive officer (CEO) of Exor, the holding company controlled by the Agnelli family, which also holds a controlling stake in Ferrari, CNH Industrial, Iveco Group, Juventus F.C. and The Economist Group. In July 2018 he was appointed chairman of Ferrari after Sergio Marchionne left due to health issues.##NAJAVA_MECA_6972108##
