Juventus on Monday confirmed that one of their social media accounts was hacked after appearing to confirm the signing of Real Madrid star Arda Guler.
Fans of both Juventus and Real Madrid were taken by surprise when the Serie A club’s English X account appeared to confirm the signing of the Turkey international on Monday afternoon.
“Welcome to Juventus, Arda Guler! The rising star of football is now part of the Juventus family,” the post read, featuring a picture of Guler walking on a runway.
However, Juventus moved quickly to debunked the rumours.
The Old Lady clarified that their account was hacked, urging fans to ignore the false information.
“Our Juventus English account has been compromised,” Juventus said.
“Please ignore the false information being published on this account. We are working on the issue.”
Guler joined Real Madrid from Turkish club Fenerbahce last in 2023.
