Comolli: "Vlahovic only left Juve because of a nice offer. Douglas Luiz apologized."

TURIN — Damien Comolli 's words can be a source of hope, but they can also be a blow to those who make mistakes. Juventus' general manager spoke again after the official presentation, speaking to Sky Sport : from the Douglas Luiz case to Weah and his agent's stomachache , to the Vlahovic issue and the pursuit of Kolo Muani. With a single common thread uniting everything: Juventus, a club that, in terms of "global reach, is on par with Liverpool in size and appeal."

The Douglas Luiz and Weah cases

In these first two months of the transfer market, Juventus has encountered thorny situations, issues that suddenly erupted, threatening to ruin negotiations and future plans. The most significant was the Douglas Luiz case, who skipped the training camp, only showing up at Continassa during the second week. The club reacted promptly, fining the Brazilian: "When Douglas didn't show up for the training camp, I told the players that no one can disrespect the club, a great club like Juventus," Comolli confirmed. "I think Douglas made a mistake, he acknowledged it, and he made himself available to the club." He will be sold, but not as a result of his actions, as he was no longer part of the club's plans after a disastrous season. Weah, on the other hand, had a positive season, but the American will be sold to raise cash. The player has an agreement with Marseille , while Juventus is pushing for a move to the Premier League. A situation that prompted Weah's agent to vent: "No one is being pressured to leave. He's clearly said he wants to go to Marseille, but it all depends on the negotiations between the two clubs."

Juventus' attack

Juventus' first signing of the season was Jonathan David , who arrived as a free agent after his time at Lille . Yet attack remains the key issue in Juventus' transfer window: Vlahovic, despite Comolli's comments, is a very complicated issue to resolve, while the club is still hunting for Kolo Muani after last season's six-month loan spell. The general manager's position on the Serbian is tentative: "We had very positive discussions in the United States, and we came to the conclusion that if there's an excellent opportunity for him as a player and for us financially, we can move forward with a sale." Meanwhile, negotiations for Kolo Muani are ongoing, especially after the progress made in recent hours and the desire to bring him to a training camp in Herzogenaurach: "The player is pushing for a return, and we're talking to PSG ."

Comolli's first Juventus report

Having arrived at Continassa two months ago, Comolli outlined his first experience as a Juventus player: "I don't think there have been any difficulties, or anything I didn't expect," he continued. "The club's potential is incredible. The more I spend time here, the more I realize that another club with this size and appeal is Liverpool, with this global reach. Everyone in the world talks about Juve. So these aren't difficulties; it's something extraordinary. And I think that more than any difficulties, the challenge today—not mine personally, but everyone who works at the club—is to convince people that we can win again. I don't think about tomorrow, but I want to convince people that we'll win again." Returning to winning ways, including through the transfer market: "The club is very attractive, many agents and players are calling me. After all, we are Juventus and we want to return to winning ways. Securing Conceiçao 's permanence was a clear and strong decision because he can play on both fronts, just like Nico Gonzalez . If someone leaves, we'll consider someone on the wings, but right now we're set."
