Di Gregorio's agent slams Juventus: "Spent €130m on 3 weak strikers, then blame the goalkeeper"
Carlo Alberto Belloni's bold tirade against Juventus management: insists on "respect" for Michele Di Gregorio and says it is wrong to blame the goalkeeper for the team's problems.
Michele Di Gregorio's agent has bravely lashed out at Juventus management and called for "respect" for his client, while also criticizing the direction of the team in the transfer market.
It's not new for Juventus to be looking for a new goalkeeper this summer, especially as there were moments last season when Di Gregorio was dropped in favor of Mattia Perin amid a slump in form. But according to his representative, Carlo Alberto Belloni, the team's shortcomings should not be blamed on the goalkeeper.
In a series of statements on his agency CA Sport Management's Instagram Stories, Belloni took aim at the club's decision-makers. He specifically referred to Damien Comolli, who he said was recently fired and replaced by Giovanni Carnevali last month. "Look at 20 new players in two seasons, 3 coaches in 2 seasons, 3 sets of directors in 2 seasons. Those are the numbers that really make a difference," said Belloni.

He further emphasized the data of Juventus against Inter: "Goals conceded by Juventus 34, Inter 35. Goals scored by Juventus 61, Inter 82. The rest, just empty words."
Belloni's tirade was most intense against the club's attacking formation. "The French directors spent €130m for 3 weak strikers. To cover this crazy cost, they put all the blame on the goalkeeper—who was bought by the former sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli—as the best goalkeeper in Serie A at the age of 26."
The agent also ascertained Di Gregorio's current state and next steps. "Di Gregorio has three years left on his contract with Juventus, he will travel for the pre-season camp and while the market is open, we will look at opportunities. He is on the short list of several teams in Europe, so we are in no rush. We ask for respect for someone who is always ready to take a chance, even if it would have been easier to sit on the bench and mumble."
For now, the statement from Di Gregorio's camp remains at the center of the conversation in Turin—a stark reminder that Juventus' problems and solutions are measured not just under the post.
