Juventus chief executive confirms Yildiz is not for sale while club prepares to sell another player

Juventus finished sixth in Serie A and will compete in the Europa League next season after failing to qualify for the Champions League.

Comolli stated that the club would need to revise its transfer strategy following a disappointing campaign, but he emphasised that he was in agreement with owner John Elkann and coach Luciano Spalletti regarding the necessary changes.

"We will have to sell one more player than originally planned. Both parties agreed that this is sensible," the Frenchman told the Italian newspaper la Repubblica.

"This does not imply that we will be weakened: every player sold will be replaced by someone of equal or even higher quality."

When asked about the possible sale of highly rated youngster Yildiz, Comolli was clear: "Absolutely not," he said.

He acknowledged that there is still uncertainty surrounding Vlahovic's future.

"We would like to continue, but I do not know how. He told us to meet at the end of the season. That is the situation," Comolli explained.

Comolli accepted responsibility for the team's underwhelming performances but insisted that his relationship with Spalletti remains strong, dismissing any rumours of tension between them.

"That is untrue. My relationship with Luciano is steady and positive, also on a personal level," he said.

"We have only been working together for seven months; we did not know each other beforehand, but I was the one who recommended his name because I am convinced he is the right person. That is why I pushed to extend his contract without waiting for the end of the season."

He outlined a three to five year rebuilding plan, stating that Juventus is committed to a long term project but faces pressure to deliver results sooner.

Financially, missing out on the Champions League has had a considerable impact.

According to Calcio e Finanza, Juventus is expected to earn around 14.6 million euros ($16.99 million) from the Europa League, compared to an estimated 42.6 million euros from the top European competition.

The shortfall, along with squad adjustments ahead of next season, means that immediate success cannot be guaranteed.

"Our aim is to put the team in a position to win," he said.

"We do not know when that will happen. It cannot be in five years, but I cannot say whether it will be next year or the year after; it also depends on the plans of our competitors."
