Many top foreign clubs have social media accounts dedicated to fans from several countries. It is no different for Juventus, which publishes information in multiple languages for different audiences. Shocking information appeared on the club's English account on the X website on Monday, October 21.
Juventus announced the transfer of the Real Madrid star. They had to explain later
“Welcome to Juventus, Ardo Guler. The rising football star is now part of the Juventus family. Ready to make history together on this new journey?” – wrote the English profile of Juventus, informing about the signing of Arda Guler – a 19-year-old Real Madrid midfielder and a star of Turkish football.
Of course, the transfer window is already closed, so fans could have thought that Guler would go to Turin in the winter or next summer. But nothing of the sort will happen, or at least nothing is known about it. Juventus had to explain this in another entry, and already on their Italian, main account on the X website.
“Our Juventus English account has been compromised. Please ignore false information posted on this account. We are working on this issue,” it said in a short statement. So the hackers took care of the English profile of the Turians and hence the false information about the alleged transfer of Guler.
“It was a joke,” it was written on the English profile, where many posts appeared in Turkish. We can therefore guess that hackers from this country took over the account of the Turians and hence the mention of Guler.
The enthusiasm of Juventus fans was quickly dampened, and Real Madrid fans could breathe a sigh of relief. Guler is considered the future of football, which he has already proven many times. The 19-year-old is one of the leaders of the Turkish national team, and in Madrid he has already played 22 matches and scored six goals. In the summer of 2023, Real paid EUR 20 million for him, and according to transfermarkt.de, the player is currently worth as much as EUR 45 million.
