"To win, time is needed, no chatter," Giovanni Carnevali told Sky Sport Italia after Juventus shareholders approved a €250 million capital increase at the Allianz Stadium. More than 270 small shareholders were present, and the operation is meant to cover debts and invest in the market within the limits of the settlement agreement with UEFA.
Juventus's rebuild and the numbers around it
The message fits the football side as much as the financial one. Juventus are 7th in Serie A after 10 matches, with 17 points, and their recent league run of WLWLD is hardly the profile of a side ready to talk like a finished product. In Europe, they are also 7th in the Europa League after 3 matches, with 7 points and a +6 goal difference.
Carnevali also said, "We will work to win, but it will not be easy. It will take time. We want to bring a bit of Italian-ness into the structure." That is the right framing for a club that is funding the next phase while still trying to settle the basics on the pitch.
What comes next for Juventus
Juventus will return to training after a day of rest before the fourth Europa League match in Alkmaar. Weston McKennie's situation will be assessed before the next match against Fiorentina, and Teun Koopminers will head back to the Netherlands to face AZ Alkmaar, where he began his career, as well as his brother Peer.
The capital increase gives Juventus room to keep moving, but the table still shows a side in transition, not a team that has already arrived.
