Cryptocurrency company wants to buy Juventus, but "is not for sale"
Tether, one of the largest cryptocurrency companies in the world and minority shareholder of Juventus, revealed on Friday that it intends to acquire a majority stake from Exor, the Agnelli family's holding company, which responded on Saturday through a definitive video.
After Tether, which currently holds 11.5% of Juventus' shares, stated that it intends to invest one billion euros in the club as the main shareholder, John Elkann, chairman of Exor, appeared in a video addressing the "bianconeri" fans, emphasizing that the club and "its values are not for sale".
"Juve has been part of my family for 102 years, in the literal sense of the word, because over a century, we have seen four generations make it bigger and stronger. It has been protected during difficult times and celebrated in many happy moments. That’s not all. Juve is part of a much, much larger family.
The 'bianconeri' family is made up of millions of fans in Italy and around the world, who love Juve as much as those close to them. It is precisely in that passion and this love story that has united us for more than a decade that, as a family, we continue to support our team and look to the future to build a winning Juve. Our Juventus, our story, is not for sale," he emphasized.
