Juventus’ English-Language Twitter Account Hacked, Fake Transfer Announcement Made Juventus’ official English-language Twitter account was compromised by hackers, who posted a false announcement claiming that Real Madrid midfielder Arda Güler had joined the Italian club.
The hackers’ attempt was quickly foiled, however, as fans noticed a critical flaw in the claim: the transfer window is currently closed, making any transfer impossible.
The hacked account posted:
“Welcome to Juventus, Arda Güler! The rising star of football is now part of the #Juventus family! Ready to make history together on this new journey? #WelcomeArda #ForzaJuve”
Juventus promptly responded through their Italian account, alerting fans that the English page had been hacked and advising them to disregard any information from the compromised account.
This incident comes on the heels of Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti’s recent comments on Güler’s role with the Spanish club.
