Paris Saint-Germain striker and current Juventus transfer target Mauro Icardi has reportedly been accused of money-laundering in Argentina along with his wife and agent Wanda Nara.

Olé report that the couple had a formal complaint made against them following the investigation by Fernando Miguez, head of the Independent Association of Public Good.

It is based around a company they co-own called Work Marketing Football SRL.

According to Argentine newspaper Olé, the money funnelled through the company was used to avoid paying international taxes on their earnings, both for Icardi’s sporting career and Wanda’s fashion and cosmetics lines.

Wanda Nara has been Icardi’s wife since 2014, having previously been married to his then-Sampdoria teammate Maxi Lopez.

Last month the pair was consistently in the headlines as they played out their potential divorce through social media, only for a similarly-public reconciliation on Instagram

Lol this is where things get interesting

does the club go rogue and buy names allegri doesn’t want or will allegri get a say? And what if max asks for average players and gets it wrong?
I had heard its customary in Italian football to have roundtable discussion between scouts, coaching staff, management around signings and try to come kind of consensus though for the last few years its seemed like Juventus gives that power almost solely to the Sporting Director. Rumors that part of Maxx agreement to return was greater control over transfers would be given to him.

What's the truth of the situation right now? I have no feckin idea I just hope it goes better than the Great Tici Reset :boh:

apparently barcelona won't be using their option on yusuf demir. looked promising against us, don't know what happened afterwards.

Nico Gonzalez and Gavi, plus 2 other barca youth wingers/attackers all emerging as regular senior players (atleast 3 of them allways start), has made Demirs play time less. But Barca would be foolish to give up on him already, if they do, we need to pounce quick.

Of all our transfers, Locatelli is ok I suppose but where are the goals and assists? Calhanoglu is far more effective than Locatelli at this moment and even though he has better players around him, he still stands out. I think we need a major rethink on transfers. I find it incredible that an 'unworthy' and 'mediocre' Calhanogu alone has more goals and assisted than all our CMs combined. Of all the transfer links, take the one with the best stats, not Martial the benchwarmer who has 1 goal this year and a whopping 7 last season. Someone tell me how any of the players that we are linked with will do better these lot below, I'd rather get Beto or Pinamonti over Martial. Also, where is Scamacca on this list?

We as Juventus fans, it's time, it's time for us to come together. It's time for us to rebuild a New Orleans Juventus, the one that should be a chocolate New Orleans an Italian Juventus.

Locatelli’s job is to orchestrate play from deep. He’s not supposed to be up front joining and creating in attack. And even from that position he has 2 goals - 2 assists, which is very good from his deep role.

The issue is that the players supposed to be playing B2B and more advanced midfield roles aren’t doing their jobs. McKennie, Rabiot, Bentancur have a combined 2 goals - 3 assists. Which is anemic and quite frankly appalling. And then Ramsey, who was initially signed to provide those goals and assists from mid (like he did in good numbers for Arsenal and does for Wales) has turned into a massively overpaid flop with a shit attitude to boot. Hopefully McKennie returns from his injury in fine form like just before, ready to contribute goals here and there, and then we need to sign someone a little more creative and attacking to chip in as a third mid.

Only thing is we don't. We never do so it's pointless to talk about players we should buy sometimes.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner.
This has to be the dumbest post of the year.

You're correct but I don't see him orchestrating much to be honest, I like him but he was more productive at Sassuolo. None of our players are on either list but my point is that we could probably get Beto and he'd improve us more than some shot in the dark like Martial. Kulusevski/Arthur/Rabiot/Ramsey are not even at Caprari/Beto/Muriel level and that's the honest truth so maybe we need some Marotta style signings now more than ever.

@Darkhorse
Unless you can explain why it's dumb, your post means nothing.
