Damien Comolli: Juventus 'to sell one more player than expected' after missing Champions League | OneFootball

Juventus missing the Champions League will force a tighter summer, with Damien Comolli saying, 'We will have to sell one more player than expected. Both agreed it was the most sensible decision,' he told La Repubblica.

The club finished sixth in Serie A after a 2-2 draw with Torino and will be in the Europa League next season.

'That does not mean we will weaken, every player sold will be replaced by another of equivalent, or higher, level,' Comolli added.

Calcio e Finanza reports Juventus should receive less than €15 million from the Europa League, compared with more than €40 million had they reached the Champions League league phase.

'Our aim is to put the team in a position to win. We do not know when that will happen, it cannot be in five years, but I cannot say if it will be next year or the one after, it also depends on our rivals' plans,' he said.
