Juventus face new market shock as transfers ramp up | OneFootball

Juventus shares closed down 0.6% in the latest trading session, mirroring a difficult day for other Exor-associated stocks, with Stellantis and Ferrari also declining 1.99% and 2.18% respectively, according to Tutto Juve. Lazio, by contrast, finished up 1.76%, highlighting a wider divergence in the performance of Italian football clubs on the stock market.

The dip comes as Juventus continues to navigate a complex summer marked by major transfer investments and ongoing financial scrutiny. Tutto Juve reports that club revenues from tournaments and sponsorships currently stand around €250 million, a solid base but one that faces pressure from increased player wages and the outlays connected to squad overhauls.

The recent acquisition of Jonathan David represents the first significant move in Juventus’s transfer window, with the Canadian forward signing on a contract until 2030. Club efforts remain focused on securing an additional marquee striker, with Victor Osimhen identified as a primary target. Negotiations and squad restructuring have inevitably heightened financial commitments for the coming season. In parallel, attempts to land Paris Saint-Germain’s Randal Kolo Muani on loan have stalled, as PSG insists on terms that would require a mandatory transfer fee.

Meanwhile, the future of Dusan Vlahovic remains unresolved amid deliberations about salary structures and the overall wage bill, according to various pundits cited by Tutto Juve. Speculation persists that departures and further arrivals could alter the club’s salary commitments significantly over the coming weeks.

Away from transfer dealings, the club is the subject of continued legal and governance discussions. The status of former CEO Maurizio Arrivabene in judicial proceedings linked to Juventus’s previous financial affairs remains a point of concern among supporters and commentators, fuelling perceptions of uncertainty off the pitch.

These developments add complexity to Juventus’s financial outlook. While the underlying commercial revenues provide stability, the club’s capital market value remains sensitive to both on-field progress and the impact of sustained investment in squad rebuilding. The club’s summer business will likely shape its balance sheet for the forthcoming season, with fans and investors alike watching closely for both footballing results and signs of long-term sustainability.
