Mattia de Sciglio has come under fire from some Juventus fans after it emerged that he showed evidence to investigators in the secret payment investigation.
The Bianconeri had announced that their players were giving up four months of salary, but reached a secret agreement to pay them three months out of their budget.
These payments were made that way to help the club appear financially healthy, but investigators are unimpressed and have made their findings public.
Reports reveal that De Sciglio and Matthijs de Ligt showed investigators the WhatsApp group message as evidence and the Bianconeri fans are not happy.
The Azzurri defender posted on social media about the team’s return to training and fans flooded his comments with words like “rat,” “traitor” etc. as they reacted to the revelation, according to Football Italia.
Juve FC says
We can’t blame De Sciglio for speaking up and being candid with investigators because the truth will still come out.
The defender probably had no idea that he had to lie and did not want to put himself in a position where he would lie and others would tell the truth.
With the club insisting that they have done nothing wrong, we expect to emerge victorious at the end of this case, which should fill us with confidence.
