A message from Giorgio Chiellini sent to the Juventus group chat has been revealed by Il Fatto Quotidiano, discussing the agreement to secretly pay players salaries.
The Bianconeri are in the crosshairs for allegedly paying players under the table during the early stages of the COVID pandemic, despite suggesting that their salaries had been frozen. Juventus are also being investigated for falsified capital gains and the mass resignations of Andrea Agnelli and the board of directors has only increased the pressure in the Piedmont capital.
Writing to the Juventus squad in their WhatsApp Group, Chiellini told his teammates on March 27 2020 to stay quiet about the agreement.
“Hello everyone, as you know we are talking with Fabio (Paratici) and the president to try to help the club and all the employees in this difficult moment. The final proposal is this: we are missing four months of salary, three months paid in case we manage to finish the season, two and a half months in case we stop.
“The president has guaranteed the payment of one month’s salary on July 1 and the rest in the 20/21 season. They really thank the whole team for their sensitivity. In case of okay, tomorrow I will have a paper signed by the president where he guarantees the above.
“Due to stock market legislation, the communication that would come out is only of the waiver of the four months. You are asked NOT TO TALK IN THE INTERVIEWS about the details of this agreement.”
The next day, Chiellini provided another update on the Juventus squad WhatApp group, discussing the details of the situation.
“You will receive in the next few days a sheet that is worth everything and nothing like the one the president and I signed, where we commit ourselves to giving up the remaining months of this season.
“Subsequently, your lawyers or agents will be contacted and AT THE SAME TIME the contracts valid for this season and next will be signed. Juventus will make a press release saying that we are waiving four monthly payments to help the club. Thank you for everything.”
An investigation into the situation has been opened by the FIGC and Juventus are seemingly at risk of picking up serious penalties, ranging from fines and point deductions to a possible relegation.
yet some people wanted chiellini as the next director
Yes, Chiellini is the perfect mobster to conduct the dirty deals of this filthy club.

Why Inter again involved in this? OMG lah

Doo not blame Giorgio. He was schooled, groomed and primed at Bush League Calcio FC. Serie D is a perfect fit for them but lets be real, the 1/6 have too much influence at home. At least this has not spread to Europe as they’re still the Wendy’s of the continent and will always that throne.

Surely there must be some punishment for the players too. They are part of it.
