Unfortunately for all of us, Juventus are going through a nervous period, to say the least, with an investigation into financial irregularities threatening to inflict further damage on the club.
Earlier this year, the club and its directors were acquitted in a lawsuit related to alleged capital gains, as investigators were unable to prove that the transfer fees in question were actually inflated.
Nonetheless, prosecutors have reportedly found enough evidence to suggest another financial violation.
While management had previously claimed that the players agreed to forego four months of salary during the Covid-19 pandemic, it appears they only forfeited one month of their annual salaries, while the other three months only carried over to the next. campaigns without being registered in the books.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Mattia De Sciglio and Matthijs de Ligt had shown investigators screenshots of the WhatsApp group chat between Juventus players, confirming this allegation.
The source claims the chat includes an announcement from then-club captain Giorgio Chiellini urging his teammates never to discuss the deal between them and the club in public.
De Sciglio is still part of the club, while de Ligt had completed a highly successful transfer to Bayern Munich last summer.
