I think we can forget about Pogba, Donnarumma, Gosens if we dont make it to CL.

Every time I want to do one of these and try to be even semi-realistic I remember we have Arthur on the team and just get sad.
You could see some EPL team biting on Ramsey or Rabiot, but we're stuck with this gonorrhea laden midget for some years.

Fuck it, let's play.
If Max comes back and playing EL, going off on educated guesses let's say:
Really should be enough to at least fight for Scudetto to the very end and then go from there, upgrading in the future hopefully.
Hope Kulusevski and McKennie are much better with Max.
I still want Donnarumma. Even with all the midfield problems I think GK is (or will be soon) just as much of a problem. I don't see a GK as good as Donnarumma available for 20-ish million any time soon. We'll either be in the dark ages again cycling through Peruzzi's of the world or pay through the nose for someone.

Biggest question mark I have is Morata. Not if he can be the main striker (we know he can't), but who do we sign there that is going to be better? Kean? Belotti? En-Nesyri? Icardi?Hope Kulusevski and McKennie are much better with Max.

Some scenario that comes in mind if we really need to lower the costs:
If we won’t reach the CL, I’d sell Szczesny. Forget about Donnarumma, would be stupid to give him 10m (which already is stupid, even if I wasn’t against, or if we reach CL), I’d rather give another chance to Perin with Buffon as backup.
All the other obvious sales are the players away on loan, and Rabiot, Ramsey, Bernardeschi and perhaps Bentancur. Either way I expect one of Rabiot and Bentancur to stay, and I guess it will be Bentancur.
Doesnt seem very likely that we’ll keep Morata as 10m and 5m loan is quite a lot if you miss 60-80m revenues.
Same goes for Ronaldo I think. It will be him or Dybala who will leave, with the books easier to balance if we sell Ronaldo.
As far as buying players hopefully we’re able to buy Locatelli. Bring Rovella to the club and if there’s any money, buy Aouar.
Im not so keen op Gosens, people to forget that he’s a wingback and it would be a gamble to buy him and use him as left back. Tbh it doesn’t seem very logical to me to invest in a LB while already having Sandro, who remains good enough.
Hopefully Everton is willing to swap Rabiot and Kean, promote Da Graca as backup even if it’s early days for him at the big stage.
Sign a good left winger
Squad would be a lot cheaper, younger and more sustainable

We still need a back up GK and another forward in that mercato imo.
Mirante, Marchetti, and Padelli are all out of contract this summer. Any of them coming for free on minimal wages could do for a back up GK given that we need to spend on other areas.
We should have a natural LW on the team, don't know who it can be. There doesn't seem to be that many attractive LW around.

We played a whole season of 433 with Allegri in 2018/19, plus many times during his first seasons since he made Mandzukic a LW in the front 3.

Given that we have Ronaldo, Chiesa, Kulusevski, Bernardeschi, and Costa at this moment we should build on a formation with wingers. Of course 2 or 3 of those will leave in the summer, but we should still prioritise Chiesa.
A 433, 4231, 442, 343
The pillars of the squad should be identified and built on instead of randomly signing players.
If Ronaldo leaves we'll need a player to play on the left. Costa will likely leave and Bernardeschi won't be a starter, so a player there is a necessity. That is unless Chiesa is moved to the left primarily, but he seems better on the right.

EL / bankrupt edition:
If possible I'd keep and extend Dybala's contract but I really think we're that fucked without CL.
I think a top coach gets these guys to ball and finish at least top-4.
Perin/Audero/Pinsoglio
Danilo/Cuadrado - De Ligt/Bonucci - Demiral/Dragusin - Gosens/Emerson P.
McKennie/Fagioli - Locatelli/Rovella - De Paul/Arthur
Cuadrado/Kulusevski - Morata/Kean - Chiesa/D.Costa/Correia
So this requires Gosens, E.Palmieri, Locatelli, De Paul & Kean. Even in our current financila state that should be feasible if we cut A. Sandro, Dybala, Rabiot, Ramsey, Szczesny and Cristiano loose. Right?Danilo/Cuadrado - De Ligt/Bonucci - Demiral/Dragusin - Gosens/Emerson P.
McKennie/Fagioli - Locatelli/Rovella - De Paul/Arthur
Cuadrado/Kulusevski - Morata/Kean - Chiesa/D.Costa/Correia

I definitely want to see a holding midfield of Arthur and Locatelli next season. De Paul would also be a good option if Udinese would like some players in return to lower the price.
We need another good winger like Chiesa on the other flank. Trade Dybala for Dembele.
Keep Morata.
Whatever happens its time to get something out of Dybala this summer.
Also I'd keep the rest. We need quality players and if we don't get CL I'd rather have the ones that we already have then signing bunch of guys who in reality don't belong at Juventus.
Guys leaving:
Buffon
Dybala
Ramsey
Rabiot
Ronaldo with no CL
