Juve: 'Profitable and competitive'

Juventus President Giovanni Cobolli Gigli is beaming at news the club has made a profit and reinforced on the transfer market.

“We ended the fiscal year with £5m profit, an 18 per cent increase compared to last season,” said the patron after today’s board meeting.

“Juve have once again become competitive in the economic environment. We are extremely solid.”

In a year when clubs like Milan and Roma are forced to sell their stars to raise funds, it is particularly significant that the Bianconeri are making money.

They reinvested it by signing Diego, Felipe Melo, Martin Caceres and Fabio Cannavaro to build an impressive side.

“The team is stronger than last season and above all we have reinforced significantly in every area of the squad,” continued President Cobolli Gigli.

“In attack we have also rediscovered the motivation and fitness of David Trezeguet, turning us into a truly competitive outfit.

“Are we stronger than Inter? I am not interested in them. We will see on the pitch who is the better team.”

Meanwhile, the Bianconeri must whittle down the squad, with Sergio Almiron heading for Bari and Christian Poulsen reportedly in talks with Fiorentina.

“Almiron to Bari is a possibility, but we will not give Poulsen to Fiorentina. I can confirm we will do everything we can to sell these two players, though.”
