Juventus dominated Italian football throughout the 2010s winning nine consecutive Serie A titles between 2011 and 2020, but has been in a rebuilding mode since finishing between third and seventh in each of the five seasons since their last championship.
Tether increased its stake in I Bianconeri ("The White and Blacks") to over 10% in April, having bought 8.2% of the club in February. It is now Juventus' second-largest shareholder. Exor, the holding company of the Agnelli family, owns 65%.
"[Our] intention is to be a supportive and engaged partner in the club’s future," Tether said. "We recognize that significant investment will be needed to build a competitive squad, and we are prepared to contribute meaningfully to that effort."
The news of Tether's requests was previously reported by Bloomberg on Wednesday.
