Yildiz not for sale as Comolli exit looms

Yildiz not for sale, no matter the price

Sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli has confirmed Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta wants Kenan Yildiz, but the message from Turin is blunt: he is not for sale, even at €100m (1). Arsenal had reportedly been readying an £86m bid for the Turkish winger, but Juventus have slammed the door shut (2). Simple as that. Your brightest young talent stays.

Comolli on the brink

CEO Damien Comolli could leave Juventus within hours, according to reports out of Italy (3). A series of meetings have left his position in serious doubt. Sassuolo CEO Giovanni Carnevali is already being named as the likely replacement. This one is moving fast.

Big offer in for Dibu Martínez

Juventus have tabled an important offer for Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano 'Dibu' Martínez (4). Álex Remiro of Real Sociedad, Zion Suzuki at Parma, and Manchester City's James Trafford are also on the shortlist, but Martínez is the marquee name. The club is clearly ready to spend on the position.

Fan reactions

The Comolli news is the talk of the hour. Reactions are split between those who saw this coming after a difficult period and those worried about instability at the top. Carnevali's name landing so quickly suggests this was in motion behind the scenes. Read the full discussion.
