Juventus is preparing to ask shareholders for authority to raise up to €250 million in fresh capital as the Italian football club works to strengthen its balance sheet, fund strategic investments and navigate another expected loss-making year.
The proposed funding would be completed in one or more tranches by the end of 2026. Majority shareholder Exor has committed to supporting the plan and will immediately provide €60 million, while Juventus continues pursuing a longer-term path toward stronger financial sustainability.

Juventus Turns Again to Shareholders
The proposed capital increase represents another major effort by Juventus to strengthen its finances after several years of losses and repeated shareholder support.
The club said it plans to seek authorisation for a capital increase of up to €250 million, with the board able to complete the fundraising in one or more tranches before the end of 2026.
The capital is intended to reinforce Juventus’ equity position while protecting its ability to remain competitive on the pitch. It would also provide resources for potential investments in strategic property assets, including improvements connected with the club’s stadium complex in Turin.
Juventus’ wider objective is to combine sporting competitiveness with a more sustainable financial structure after years in which high player costs, weaker competition revenues and sporting disruptions weighed heavily on its accounts.
Exor Commits Fresh Capital
Exor, the investment holding company controlled by the Agnelli family, remains the central financial backer of Juventus.
The shareholder has confirmed its support for the proposed transaction and plans an immediate €60 million capital contribution to the club.
Its commitment is significant because Exor retains 65.4% of Juventus’ economic rights and 78.1% of voting rights, giving it effective control over the listed football company.
Exor has repeatedly emphasised its long-term commitment to Juventus. The relationship between the Agnelli family and the club stretches back more than a century, and the holding company has continued providing financial support during periods of heavy losses and restructuring.

Losses Continue Despite Financial Restructuring
Juventus reported a €66 million loss for the financial year ended June 30, 2026, widening from a loss of €58.1 million in the previous year.
The latest figures extend a prolonged period without annual profitability. Juventus last recorded a full-year profit in the 2016/17 financial year, highlighting the scale of the financial challenge facing the club.
Shareholders have already supplied approximately €1 billion of new capital over the past seven years, meaning the latest proposal would add another substantial round of equity financing.
The club’s finances have been shaped by several factors, including squad costs, transfer-market activity, European competition revenues and broader efforts to restructure its cost base.
Juventus has previously described sports competitiveness and economic sustainability as parallel priorities, reflecting the difficulty football clubs face in cutting costs without undermining their ability to compete.
Missing Champions League Revenue Adds Pressure
One of the most significant challenges for the current financial year is Juventus’ absence from the UEFA Champions League.
European qualification can generate substantial revenue through broadcasting distributions, prize money, matchday receipts and commercial exposure. Missing the competition therefore removes an important income stream while many operating and squad expenses remain.
Juventus has warned that it expects another loss during the current financial year, although management anticipates a progressive improvement over the following two years.
That trajectory makes sporting performance increasingly important to the club’s financial recovery. Returning to Europe’s most lucrative competitions could improve revenue generation while reducing the extent to which Juventus depends on repeated shareholder injections.
What the €250 Million Could Achieve
The capital increase is not designed solely to cover historic losses.
Juventus says the additional equity would strengthen its financial position, support sporting competitiveness and provide flexibility for investments in strategic real estate. Potential stadium-related investment could also form part of the wider effort to generate more revenue from infrastructure controlled by the club.
For investors, however, the longer-term test will be whether fresh equity translates into a structurally healthier business rather than simply financing continuing deficits.
Juventus now enters another phase of financial rebuilding with substantial support from its controlling shareholder. The proposed €250 million raise gives the club additional resources, but sustained profitability will ultimately depend on tighter financial management, stronger recurring revenues and improved sporting performance.
