The agent of Michele Di Gregorio has publicly criticized Juventus, demanding more “respect” and attacking the club’s management. He stated, “They spend €130 million on three terrible strikers, then shift the blame onto the goalkeeper.”
It’s widely known that Juventus is seeking a new goalkeeper this summer. Even during the previous season, Di Gregorio was sometimes benched in favor of Mattia Perin during periods of poor form.
However, Di Gregorio’s representative, Carlo Alberto Belloni, is not accepting this situation passively. He launched a strong verbal attack on the individuals responsible for the club’s transfer decisions, particularly targeting the recently dismissed CEO Damien Comolli, who was replaced by Giovanni Carnevali last month.
Di Gregorio’s Agent Blames Juventus’ ‘Failure’
Belloni expressed his views on the Instagram Stories account of his agency, CA Sport Management, highlighting the club’s instability. He wrote, “Look at 20 new players in two seasons, 3 coaches in 2 seasons, 3 sets of directors in 2 seasons. These are the numbers that make the real difference.”
He further defended Di Gregorio by pointing to his performance statistics: “Di Gregorio finishes the Sofascore stats in fourth place, ahead of Milinkovic-Savic and Sommer, who were second and first in the Serie A table.”
Belloni then criticized the club’s investment in forwards: “The French directors spend €130 million on 3 strikers, who are terrible. To cover this crazy expense, they shift all the blame for their failure onto the goalkeeper, who had been bought by the previous director of sport, Cristiano Giuntoli, as the best goalkeeper in Serie A at age 26.”
He contrasted the team’s goal statistics: “Goals conceded by Juventus: 34, Inter: 35. Goals scored by Juventus: 61, Inter: 82. The rest is just talk worth zero.”
Di Gregorio’s agent continued his strong statements on Instagram, shedding light on the internal dynamics at Juventus and looking towards the future. He stated, “Di Gregorio has three years left on his contract with Juventus. He will travel for the pre-season training camp, and during the transfer market, we will see what opportunities there are.”
“He is on the shortlist of several European clubs, so we are in no rush. We demand respect for those who always stepped up, even when it would have been easier to sit on the bench and chatter…”
