Juventus’ investment in Tommaso Barbieri: A case against plusvalenza

Juventus right-back Tommaso Barbieri has been making headlines after a remarkable performance in his first Serie A start against Sassuolo.
The 21-year-old, who was signed by Juventus from Novara in September 2020, has been impressing both his coaches and fans with his talent and reliability on the pitch.
Barbieri’s rise to success has been a result of his hard work and dedication to his craft. He caught the attention of Juventus scouts even before the summer of 2019, and his fearless approach on the pitch during a friendly match against the team caught the eye of Maurizio Sarri.
Since then, Barbieri has been working hard to prove himself and earn his spot in the starting lineup. He has taken many growth steps in recent years, including an apprenticeship in Next Gen, which proved to be fundamental in his development.
Barbieri’s excellent performance against Sassuolo was a testament to his maturity and his ability to perform under pressure. He was able to contain Cristiano Ronaldo in a friendly match during his early days at the club, and now he has proven that he is more than capable of holding his own in Serie A.
With his debut in the Champions League against Mbappé, an excellent performance in the December friendly against Arsenal, and now a great response to his first start in Serie A, Barbieri is quickly becoming a household name in Italian football.
Juventus signed him from Novara for 1.4 million euros, to snatch him away from Atletico Madrid, not to balance the books with a fictitious capital gain.
In the 37 pages of the Federal Court’s motivations for the -15 penalty imposed on the Bianconeri, Tommaso Barbieri is also mentioned.
