Spanish media outlet Relevo's resident renowned Italian transfer journalist Matteo Moretto, exclusively refuted the fake rumours which claimed that former Juventus President Andrea Agnelli wants to takeover the club with the help of an American consortium and appoint former Liverpool legendary German head coach Jürgen Klopp as its new head coach on Sunday.
Moretto used his friend, Sky Sports' renowned Italian transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano's official YouTube account, to release a video in Italian to refute the fake news.
Moretto said that thanks to a notoriously infamous media outlet from Asia, the fake news has spread throughout Italy in recent days, and even attracted many local media outlets to repost the matter, and hyped it up more and more, but in fact it is not the case at all.
He criticized that Juventus's owner EXOR is one of the companies owned by Agnelli and his family as the largest shareholders. Since he was already the largest shareholder of the club, why would he spend money to use the American consortium to acquire the shares he had already held? This is ridiculous and illogical!
Secondly, the position of head coach Thiago Motta has never become "precarious", which he and Romano had already confirmed last week, and even I Bianconeri Sporting Director Cristiano Giuntoli had just denied this allegation as well.
Moretto added that only if Juventus fails to qualify for the Champions League next season after the end of this season, the club's management will consider sacking Motta, but the candidates considered at that time will not include Jürgen Klopp, because the former Reds head coach had already said that "he has no intention of coaching again" when he announced his resignation last year.
Upon verification, the culprit which fabricated the fake news which that claimed that "Andrea Agnelli intends to takeover Juventus with the help of the American consortium and appoint Klopp as its new head coach" is the regular Chinese representative of our website's "Daily Slap in the Face Party" Zhibo Ba!
It is worth mentioning that Agnelli was found guilty in the "Capital Gains Scandal" (Plusvalenza) in July 2023 for suspected involvement in Juventus' financial fraud, and was then sentenced to a global ban on involving with all footballing activities for 2 years and 16 months by the Italian Football Association and FIFA .
In principle, he cannot involve in any footballing activities at all, so how can Agnelli "takeover Juventus with the help of the American consortium" before his ban ends? !
It is obvious that the Zhibo Ba rumour monger deliberately spread rumours about Agnelli, Klopp and the Serie A giants without any prior verification, just to clickbait and think that it is something which seems to be "very proud" that many people have been fooled by the fake news he had fabricated.
