He had a killer season before he joined us.
We own three strikers who are 30 or close to being 30. This summer will probably be the last time to get solid cash for Vucinic, Quag and Matri. It's hard to expect all three to be sold, but I'd do my best in Marotta's place to sell all of them. It will be especially tough to find a buyer for Mirko, due to his wages (3.5m iirc). But if Vucinic and Juve leave their mark in CL knockouts and attract attention, then selling the trio of strikers is doable. These three won't get any better than they are. Quite the opposite. If there is time to sell them, it's this summer. Their sales will easily finance a top striker. Adding Giovinco and Llorente and the cash we will have left, we could create a sweet and young attacking base (top striker, Seba, Llorente, 4th striker).
But this will require some monster job from Marotta. Won't be easy at all to buy a top striker and sell three of your own strikers, especially if we have in mind their age and their not so good reputation as the weak part of an excellent Juve team.

Vucinic is irregular but by far ou best striker right now.
Let's say Marotta has a 30M budget for next summer, a reasonable amount IMO.
Sell Matri + Quagliarella and get aroung 17M for both of them.
This makes 47M available. Just spend it all in Suarez, man. Sign a free CB as a backup (Amorebieta or Diakite).
And call it a mercato.

Wel no, cause without matri we lack a second striker, and suarez will not play striker in the italian game or get shafted, he plays behind a striker like llorente of matri
secondly, that is 47mil minus the massive wage of suarez, so the number we could spend will drop massively.
also, pool will not sell suarez for what we can offer

I was talking from strictly business perspective. I'd of course want Mirko to stay, but business wise that might not be the smartest decision. Buying a new expensive attacker will put Vucinic on the bench and, considering we bought Llorente, we will have both Giovinco, Vucinic and the new attacker fighting for the same place. Since Mirko will turn 30 in October, and he has a pretty long contract iirc, we will find ourselves with a high earning and unhappy bench player in decline. At the end we could have the Amauri and Iaquinta situation.
I want him to stay and play as much possible. If Juve are thinking business, though, then selling Vucinic is a smart decision. Of course, all of this will depend on many factors, the prime one being buying the top attacker, something we weren't able to do for quite some time. And even if we acquire that attacker, we will still depend on other teams showing interest and willingness to pay a fair price for our attackers. This on the other hand will depend on the form of our strikers. Noticeable performances in the CL will do the job.
