Juventus have successfully met their June 30 financial objectives, generating €13 million through player sales, according to reports in Italy. The club needed to balance its books and achieved this through the departures of Giovanni Daffara, David Puczka, and Facundo Gonzalez.
Goalkeeper Giovanni Daffara, born in 2004, has been sold to Parma for a fee of €6 million. Juventus will also receive 20% of any future sale proceeds for the player, who came through the club’s youth system. This represents a pure profit for the Turin side, having signed Daffara from Avellino at no initial cost.
Left-back David Puczka has moved to Genoa for €5 million, with Juventus retaining a 10% sell-on clause. The club anticipates further revenue from both Daffara and Puczka in the future, given their potential. Facundo Gonzalez’s permanent transfer to Racing Santander has added a further €2.5 million to the total, following a loan spell with a purchase option.
Alongside the sales, Juventus have also secured the signing of young forward Daniel Okolo for their Next Gen team. The 2007-born striker completed his medical and signed a contract until 2028, with an option to extend to 2030. Okolo was a free agent after Triestina’s relegation to Serie D and was a target for several clubs in Serie B, including Empoli and Juve Stabia, as well as teams in Lega Pro. Juventus sporting director Claudio Chiellini secured the deal for the promising young player.
These financial maneuvers allow Juventus to comply with financial regulations and provide investment in their youth setup. The addition of Okolo strengthens the Next Gen squad, providing a potential future first-team player.
