The less observant fans will have jumped on their seats before realizing that Juventus‘ purchase of Real Madrid‘s Turkish star Arda Guler could only be a hoax. On the other hand, the transfer window has been closed for over a month and the January one is yet to come. Here, therefore, there could be no other explanation for the hack behind the ad that appeared on X’s profile in English of the Juventus club, which allowed Guler’s sudden change of shirt.

A series of posts in Turkish were subsequently announced which immediately revealed the origin of the attack, which Juventus immediately announced on its Italian account. “Our English account has been hacked,” wrote the Turin company in a post shortly after. “Please ignore the false information posted on @juventusfcen. We are working to resolve the issue.”
