Juventus FC's Crypto Investor Has Turned Activist and Wants a Board Seat
On Valentine's Day, El Salvador-based crypto firm Tether announced it has become an investor in Juventus, one of Italy's most distinguished football clubs. Four months later, the relationship is not going well.
Before 2025, no major European football club had ever counted a crypto company among its top shareholders. Tether Holdings SA first declared a stake in Juventus in February, by April accumulating a 10.7% holding that's now worth roughly €128 million ($149 million), according to data from Bloomberg News as of Monday's close.

Premier League clubs believe Real Madrid superstar can be signed for €85m
Real Madrid may look to make a big sale after spending big on Dean Huijsen, Alvaro Carreras and a new midfielder, and should this be the case, Rodrygo Goes would be a leading candidate to be moved on. Rodrygo has been unhappy at Real Madrid for a while, although it is still believed that he is not yet seeking a move away. But if things do not improve for him, his stance could change. Advertisement But it could be Real Madrid that look to sell him first, rather than wait for the situation to escalate. And if so, Rodrygo would not be short of suitors, with Arsenal leading Chelsea and Manchester United in the race to secure his signature. Real Madrid prepared to lower Rodrygo Goes asking price CaughtOffside have now released further details on the situation, revealing that Real Madrid are currently asking for €110m to do business. But there is a belief at Arsenal that a deal could be done for €80-85m. Image via JESUS ALVAREZ ORIHUELA/Diario AS Arsenal are desperate to sign Rodrygo this summer, with their interest being led by head coach Mikel Arteta. The Gunners had previously been after Nico Williams, but with the Athletic Club winger expected to join Barcelona, they have moved on to the Real Madrid man as his alternative. Advertisement Real Madrid's current asking price of €110m would be too much for Arsenal, who have already agreed a deal to sign Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad. But were the price to come down during negotiations, they would be prepared to strike. Rodrygo is facing an uncertain future at Real Madrid. The arrival of Franco Mastantuono means that he has even more competition for his place in the line-up, where he was already fighting with Arda Guler and Brahim Diaz. As such, there could be chances for him to move on.
