According to the financial report, compared to the previous season, “the decrease is mainly due to lower capital gains from the definitive disposal of players’ registration rights (-135.7 million), partly related to the extremely difficult economic context for the sector due to the panmdemia. These effects were offset by higher income from the temporary sale of players ( 5.4 million) and by higher bonuses and income accrued in favor of Juventus in relation to the disposals of players also in previous years ( 1.5 million) ” .
Balance sheet in red for 210 million

The Pjanic-Arthur exchange
It is not known what the operations of the claciomarket on which Consob is investigating are. Recall that between the operations of the budget in June 2020 he discussed the sale of Miralem Pjanic to Barcelona. The player was valued at around 63 million. The Juventus club has entered in the budget a capital gain of 43.7 million. In reality, Juventus did not cash in, because at the same time they bought midfielder Arthur from the Catalan team, valued at 72 million, plus a possible bonus of 10 million if certain conditions occur during the duration of the contract. A high rating compared to the technical level of the Brazilian footballer, who played a mediocre year in Turin. Barcelona also entered a capital gain in the budget. Everyone is happy, but little money has been made. In fact it was an exchange and the capital gains are almost all paper.
