Juve Fans Revolt Over Proposed Giovinco Sale

Giovinco is widely regarded as one of the most explosive young players currently in circulation, and earlier this week Milan wonderkid Alexandre Pato named the 21-year-old as one of the top four youngsters in world football. Despite this, reports have been strengthening in Italy over the past few days that Juventus are set to sell half of Giovinco’s contract to Palermo, as part of the deal that will see Amauri arrive in Turin. This has infuriated Juventus supporters across the globe, who have flooded various websites almost unanimously to vent their spleen. A poll on the site VecchiaSignora.com revealed that 90.5 per cent of fans were completely against even a loan deal, while just a meagre 1.5 per cent approved of a co-ownership deal. Juventus fans have been heavily opposed to the club’s director of sport Alessio Secco for quite sometime now, following a string of blunders in the transfer market. Any decision to release Giovinco to Palermo in a co-ownership deal could push their patience to boiling point.
