Rome - AFP - Italian club Juventus recorded losses of 66 million euros ($75 million) at the end of the 2025-2026 season, a further deterioration in its financial results that will force it to implement its fifth capital increase since 2019.
The most decorated club in Italian football, in its financial results release, stated that its losses rose over one year from 58.1 million euros to 66 million euros, an increase of 13.6 percent.
During the same period, its revenue dropped from 529.6 million euros to 474.7 million euros ($539 million), a decrease of 54.9 million euros (-10.4 percent).
This deterioration is attributed, in particular, to a decline in broadcasting and media rights revenues by 31.9 million euros ($36 million).
The Turin giant was forced to part ways with its Croatian coach Igor Tudor and his technical staff in October 2025, and hired Luciano Spalletti as his replacement.
With no participation in this season's UEFA Champions League due to finishing sixth in the Italian league last season, Juventus expects a "deterioration in results (financial), particularly during the 2026-2027 fiscal year," with "expectations of new losses."
Accordingly, the board decided to implement a capital increase of 250 million euros "to strengthen the club's financial structure, as part of a broader set of measures aimed at providing proactive protection against potential risks associated with sporting results and the impacts of the transfer market."
The statement clarified that the main shareholder, the Agnelli family through its holding company Exor, committed to injecting "60 million euros immediately as part of this capital increase."
Since 2019, Juventus has carried out five capital increases, including the current one, totaling 1.2 billion euros.
The "Old Lady" squad, whose last Serie A title dates back to 2020, spent more than 160 million euros ($181 million) during the summer transfer window, against revenues that did not exceed 26 million euros ($29.5 million).
Juventus currently sits seventh in the Italian league, three points behind the top three: Roma, Inter Milan, and Lazio, with five matches remaining in the season.
