Alessandro Lucci is Bonucci’s representative and the founder of World Soccer Agency. He recently managed to add Gaetano Castrovilli, Dejan Kulusevski and Gianluca Scamacca to his client list, joining the likes of Edin Dzeko, Alessandro Florenzi, Daniele De Rossi and, of course, Bonucci.
But the newspaper reveals the portfolio might not have grown in the correct way, with constant messages, promises of more lucrative contracts and even a place in the national team from Bonucci and other clients of Lucci.
All this, according to the newspaper, also took place in the Juventus and the Azzurri dressing room.
A complaint has been followed up by the FIGC Prosecutor Giuseppe Chiné regarding Bonucci’s conduct, while Lucci’s behaviour will be entrusted to the Federal Sports Agents Commission.
The newspaper claims the most sensational case would be that of Gianluca Scamacca, who was ‘harassed’ by continuous calls until he succumbed to the pressure and left his previous agent Paolo Paoloni.
