I'm even more interested to see how will our sales go.
Obviously we have veterans on high wages, who do not contribute much. It's not gonna be easy to get rid of them and that will probably be a deciding factor regarding the purchases.
If we can't get rid of them, then we will probably do some more of the Pjanic-Arthur swaps, in which we could sacrifice promising players like Demiral.
Higuain, Matuidi, Khedira are the ones I have in mind.
Then the weak links like Bernardeschi and Rugani, the always injured De Sciglio. Arthur for Pjanic won't do us any good in midfield, and we need a starter there too.
I think this will be the hardest mercato for our directors. One that might decide our fate not only next year, but for seasons to come.

How realistic is it we can get Matuidi, Higuain and Khedira back to clubs in their homelands? I’d literally take a promising youngster in return for clearing them off the wage bill, and a result a la Bentancur is a bonus.
As for ItalJuve2 abortion players, surely now that Roma are off limits we are dealing with the likes of Sassuolo, Verona and other huh placed mid table teams in trades. There are gems to be had elevating good players as we saw with Bennacer, Skrinjar etc.
As a total outside shot, SMS could be worth revisiting. Lazio surely won’t have a purple patch like last season.
But all of this really seems wishful thinking seeing as it should have already happened last year. I’d be surprised if we clear 3 off that list.
