Juventus has announced plans to seek shareholder approval for a capital increase of up to €250 million (S$383 million) in a bid to shore up its finances, the Italian soccer club said on Tuesday. The fundraising move comes as Juventus braces for another financial loss in the current fiscal year.
The Turin-based club, one of Serie A's most successful teams, has faced mounting financial pressures in recent seasons. The proposed capital increase represents a significant effort to strengthen the club's balance sheet and provide resources for operations and player investments.
The club said it would formally present the capital increase proposal to shareholders for approval. The move underscores the financial challenges facing European football clubs in the post-pandemic era, as rising operational costs and player wages continue to strain budgets across the continent.
Juventus joins a growing list of European football clubs seeking capital injections to navigate financial headwinds. The fundraising would provide the club with additional liquidity to manage its obligations and invest in squad improvements ahead of the remainder of the season.
