The agreement over Dejan Kulusevski has been published, including Atalanta’s secret pledge to buy another Juventus player for €3m.

The investigation into alleged financial irregularities at the Bianconeri by the Turin public prosecutor has gathered huge amounts of evidence, including wiretapped conversations and documents taken in raids on their offices.

These include the so-called secret agreements that were connected to official transfers, but effectively off the formal books.

Stefano Felti, the director of newspaper Il Domani, published a copy of an agreement signed by Atalanta director Luca Percassi on December 30 2019.

“I the undersigned Luca Percassi, acting as general manager of Atalanta B.C. S.p.A (“Atalanta”), with reference to the definitive transfer of player Dejan Kulusevski to Juventus F.C. S.p.A. (“Juventus”), pledge to buy a player from Juventus – suggested by the club – for a value of €3m + VAT within and not after 30 06 2020.”

Officially, Juventus bought Kulusevski from Atalanta for €35m plus up to €9m in bonuses in January 2020 and left him on loan at Parma until June 30.

This pledge to sign a player from Juve seems to have been completed in June 2020 when Atalanta purchased Simone Muratore for €7m, representing a €6m capital gain for the Bianconeri.

Muratore was immediately loaned to Reggiana, then Portuguese side Tondela, and is yet to make a single appearance for Atalanta.

Kulusevski did not stay at Juventus for long, as he was loaned to Tottenham Hotspur in January 2022 with an option to buy that becomes an obligation under certain circumstances.

  1. Innit time for you to start your early morning haddock run and cod battering in Chipland? Strange how you couldn’t beat a nation that spends 1% of time on the game. Hopefully France will take care of your little island.

  2. Lets all get our “facts” from a cupple of halfwits who believe every lie and rumor that gets reported…
