Juventus is hopeful that the fifteen-point penalty will be reversed. The Serie A superpower received a penalty for financial violations, but thinks it has a good chance in an appeal.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Old Lady does indeed have a good chance. The Italian medium investigated the appeal of Juventus in collaboration with the ANSA news agency and Calcio e Finanza. Some amazing things came out of that.
Juve was sanctioned, among other things because of the artificially inflating transfer fees to increase capital gains. The club’s argument that it has no influence on sporting results on the field proves plausible. At least that’s what La Gazzetta dello Sport thinks . Because a sporting punishment followed a financial violation, the profession is promising, the newspaper thinks.
Juventus also relies on the fact that transfers are made by two parties, so it does not provide extra liquidity. As a result, the club would not be more likely on the transfer market and the fair sportsmanship in Serie A would not be affected.
In addition, La Gazzetta believes that it is impossible to determine the value of players, making a penalty on that subjective determination impossible. Because all transfers have also been approved, Juventus believes that the penalties are unfounded.
Rocco Commisso takes a dig at Dusan Vlahovic
Rocco Commisso, the president of Fiorentina, gave Dusan Vlahovic a small kick a year after his transfer to Juventus. According to him, the transfer was a good deal for Fiorentina, but a lot less for Juventus.
Vlahovic angered Fiorentina in January 2022 by moving to rival Juventus. He was even threatened by the hard core of Fiorentina, but the anger has now subsided somewhat. Nevertheless, the president of the club could not resist to emphasize that the club is happy that they have let Vlahovic go.
Commisso gave a guest lecture at the University of Florence and explained in the context of entrepreneurship how Fiorentina made a profit from the Vlahovic deal, writes Firenze Viola . “He wanted to go to Juventus and we brought back Arthur Cabral and Luka Jovic. Many people criticized this deal, but now I don’t see anyone writing about it anymore,” the president commented.
“We paid €15 million for these two players and they have already scored 20 goals for us this season. Vlahovic only made ten in Turin, two of which were penalties. That’s exactly half of our attackers. And with all this we also made a profit of seventy million euros. This deal was excellent for us, but less so for Juventus,” he concluded.
