Serie A LIVE: Bologna vs. Juventus

This week, the Turin giants announced the increase in Capital after options were taken up, boosting the club coffers by €366m.

“I think it is important to clarify a few things, which is that the increase in Capital showed the shareholders have faith in the club’s plans to relaunch and resolve our issues,” Arrivabene told DAZN.

“However, I want to make it very clear that this is to bring stability to the club accounts, it is absolutely not a financial operation so we can make some big splash on the transfer market.

“If anyone is expecting some coup de theatre in January, they can forget it. This club has been hit hard by two years of COVID and we are focused on relaunch, reflecting and evaluating so we can then do what the economic situation allows us to do.”

Juve have been linked with several strikers in the January transfer window, including PSG hitman Mauro Icardi and Manchester United’s Anthony Martial.
