Rome, Dec. 13 (LaPresse) – “Juventus, our history, our values are not for sale.” So said Exor chairman John Elkann in a video published on the club’s website after Exor’s Board of Directors rejected the acquisition offer for the Bianconeri from the cryptocurrency company Tether. “Juve has been part of my family for 102 years,” he stated. “It is part of it in the truest sense of the word: over the course of a century, four generations have expanded it, strengthened it, cared for it in difficult times, and celebrated it in many happy moments. But not only that – Juve is part of a much larger family, the Bianconeri family made up of millions of fans in Italy and around the world who love Juve as one loves close ones. Thinking of this passion, this love story that has united us for over a century, as a family we continue to support our team and look to the future to build a winning Juve. Juventus, our history, our values are not for sale.”
