Overview
- Juventus chief executive Damien Comolli confirmed Wednesday that the club will have to sell one more player than planned to cover the revenue shortfall caused by failing to qualify for the Champions League.
- Comolli said Kenan Yildiz is untouchable and will remain at the club, removing the highly rated youngster from any transfer plans.
- The club wants to keep striker Dusan Vlahovic but Comolli said the forward and his representatives asked to discuss his future after the season.
- Missing the Champions League cuts expected European income sharply with projected receipts of about €14.6 million from the Europa League versus roughly €42.6 million from Champions League participation, increasing pressure on summer moves.
- Comolli insisted he is aligned with owner John Elkann and coach Luciano Spalletti, set out a three-to-five-year rebuild timeline, and warned fans that short-term squad changes are needed to balance books and protect long-term prospects.
