Tomorrow the audition will discuss how to evaluate talent. From the Suarez case to the Superlega: a black year for Agnelli
How is the value of a player assessed? How can you determine at the table whether the price of a tag has been congruous or exaggerated? We have been debating this topic for years – better, for decades – and there is no escape: tomorrow, too, we will start again from here. Juventus, the club most involved in the investigation on capital gains, will be heard in 24 hours, via remote video link. The Juventus lawyers will participate in the hearing and the intervention of some managers involved is not excluded. It is almost certain that, at the center of the debate, there will be the method with which the Federal Prosecutor has established the correct or presumed value of the players subject to capital gains. An example: Pablo Moreno, a Spanish talent, was sold by Juve to City for 10 million, as part of a double operation that brought Felix Correia to Turin for a very similar amount. Pablo Moreno for the Prosecutor was worth just 2 million, identified in the documents as “adjusted value” or “value with parameters”. But what are these parameters?
The defence
–
The Prosecutor was based on criteria such as age, role, number of appearances and transfer history. An evaluation system that Juventus will almost certainly contest, believing that a player, especially a young player, cannot be evaluated with these parameters. It is easy to imagine that the club will point out that, if anything, it is more important to consider talent and growth margins, non-quantifiable criteria. All the more so if we consider that for the transfers under investigation there was the go-ahead from Covisoc, the FIGC Supervisory Commission. The same thought cannot fail to be expressed by Fabio Paratici and here, probably, the big game will be played: the scaffolding built by the Prosecutor’s Office will hold up in the first instance, with the sentence expected for Friday, and in the second instance at the Sports Court of Appeal. of the FIGC? Here will also take shape the umpteenth turning point of a troubled year, perhaps the most troubled of the presidency of Andrea Agnelli.
The black year
–
A year ago the world discovered the Super League, announced on April 18 and quickly canceled by serial renunciations and fan protests. That game is still open – the ruling of the EU Court of Justice on the legitimacy of UEFA’s role is expected by the end of 2022 – but the fronts on which Agnelli and Juve are engaged are very broad. If the Perugia investigations into the Suarez case can be considered substantially closed – in December the filing was ordered -, the Prisma investigation is underway in Turin, in which the Juve leaders are investigated for the issuance of invoices for non-existent transactions and false invoicing for listed companies. Without forgetting the record red of 210 million for the Juve 2020-21 budget and the 119 million lost with the recently approved half-year report. In this context, the two complex seasons with Pirlo and Allegri – one championship lost and one … almost, two cups for Pirlo, only the Coppa Italia to play for Allegri – almost take a back seat. Almost.
