Chiellini joins Mata and Hummels in 'Common Goal', agrees to donate portion of his salary to charity

Giorgio Chiellini is not just all about tackles and defensive maneuvers, but also and above all, he has a heart of gold. The Juventus defender is the first Italian footballer to join the Common Goal, a charitable project that provides for the donation of at least 1% of the salary in favor of charitable organizations operating all over the world. The initiative has already witnessed many World Cup champions such as Manchester United's Juan Mata and Bayern Munich's Mats Hummels.

 

THE CHARITY - Always with a smile, and this time no different, is the message sent by Chiellini and spread by the same association. "Hello, I'm Giorgio Chiellini, Juventus player," writes the defender, who is then apologetic for his English speech, "I tried to write as good as possible. Look for your answer to complete the registration. Bye, Giorgio.” The Bianconeri number 3 is no stranger to such initiatives. "Individuals alone can not make a difference, but we can do great things together," he explains in the video published on Instagram. What an absolute champion.
