Juventus shocks fans with a false announcement of signing Arda Guler due to a hacked account, highlighting surprising twists in the football world.
In a strange twist, Juventus recently stunned the football community by announcing the signing of Arda Guler, the gifted 19-year-old talent from Real Madrid and Turkey, which was later revealed to have come from a hacked social media account.
On its English X account, the club posted a message saying, 'Welcome to Juventus, Arda Guler!' along with a photo that seemed to show Guler arriving at the airport. This surprising announcement stirred both fanbases, creating a mix of excitement and confusion.
However, just as quickly as the excitement spread, the Italian Juventus account issued a statement clarifying that their social media channels had been hacked. "Our Juventus English account has been compromised," they announced, urging fans to disregard the misleading information. "Please ignore the false information being published on this account. We are working on the issue."
Arda Guler gained attention over the summer as a rising star for Turkey at Euro 2024, where he contributed to his country's progress to the quarter-finals. Despite his growing reputation, the young talent has struggled for playing time at Real Madrid this season, starting only three matches across all competitions. Most of his recent appearances have been from the bench, and he was also left as an unused substitute during Real's recent win against Celta Vigo.
With a lineup featuring stars such as Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr., Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo, and Endrick, Guler encounters strong competition for a place in the starting eleven. Despite his undeniable potential, this recent situation highlights the unexpected twists that can happen in the football world.
