Juventus Rule Out Big Money Signings In January Transfer Window
Juventus will not resort to big money signings in the January transfer window to breath life into their title challenge, according to the club's CEO Maurizio Arrivabene.
For a second successive season, Juventus are struggling to secure a place in the Serie A top four.
Massimiliano Allegri's side have already lost five times this season and are sixth on the standings, having played 18 games.
Last season, they only secured a place in the top four on the final day of the campaign.
Juventus have been linked with the likes of Fiorentina frontman Dusan Vlahovic and Paris Saint Germain's Mauro Icardi in the winter transfer window to bolster their ranks but Arrivabene has poured cold water on the prospects of the Old Lady splashing the cash.
The CEO told DAZN: "I think it is important to clarify a few things, which is that the increase in capital showed the shareholders have faith in the club's plans to re-launch and resolve our issues.
"However, I want to make it very clear that this is to bring stability to the club accounts. It is absolutely not a financial operation, so we can make some big splash on the transfer market.
"If anyone is expecting some big coups in January, they can forget it.
"This club has been hit hard by two years of COVID, and we are focused on re-launching, reflecting and evaluating, so we can then do what the economic situation allows us to do."
