Juventus Football Club SpA shares rose the most this year after Tether Holdings SA made a €1.1 billion ($1.3 billion) takeover bid to acquire the Italian football club at a 21% premium, an offer that was swiftly rejected by the Agnelli family’s holding company.

The crypto firm made late Friday an all-cash proposal to buy Exor’s 65.4% holding for €2.66 a share, according to a letter sent to Exor and seen by Bloomberg.
