Meleam Group Plan To Buy A Major Stake In Juventus & Make Major Changes - Report
Juventus have become an investment target for Italian medical securities company Meleam who are ready to make a direct bid to buy a stake in the club and join forces with patron John Elkann.
As part of the investment strategy, Meleam, who tried and failed to take over Bari, and more recently Siena, will make major changes at the club, starting with the board structure. Tuttosport claims the company are ready to table an offer as they try to enter the world of football and expand their horizons.
Meleam's lawyer and representative Raffaele Di Monda has emphasised the interest and he has highlighted some of the plans. The board of directors would undergo some changes and further down the line coaching and team staff will also see a rejig.
"We want to show that it's possible to become good investors and excellent directors as well as bring in a management team that knows about football," he told Tuttosport.
"This is not the case with Juventus. [Jean-Claude] Blanc has never been involved with football before and [Renzo] Castagnini has not been able to bring in talent.
"We will have all the right names ready for all the roles. I like [Parma director] Pietro Leonardi and as a coach Marco Giampaolo is one of the best around. Juventus trusted a good person in Ciro Ferrara as coach, but to get back to their best a more qualified structure would be needed.
"Our project would be to side with the Elkann's. The value of Juve's players has dropped by 60 per cent compared to the past. Look at Amauri and Felipe Melo for example. Amauri cost around €23 million, but now he is worth around €10m.
"As part of our project we will also bring in a highly qualified medical team who are experts in the prevention of injuries."
