Rather than post a formation.
GK - Buffon, ??, Del Favero
DC - Bonucci, Chiellini, Barzagli, Rugani, Benatia
DR - ??, Lichtsteiner
DL - Alex Sandro, ?? (Spinazzola?)
CM - Khedira, Marchisio, Pjanic, Rincon, ??, Bentancur
AM/F - Dybala, Douglas Costa, Keita/Bernardeschi, Pjaca
ST - Higuain, Mandzukic, Schick
I make it that we need to sign four more players + Spinazzola or another left back. This is assuming we sell Asamoah, Lemina, Sturaro, Dani Alves and Neto, and loan out others not included here.

@Stephan Leave the poor guy alone 
We all know how awesome our medics are, and with the doping master coming in 
Spinazzola isn't coming this summer. Marotta and Atalanta both confirmed it. Next year with Caldara. So I guess Asamoah stays.
What I think
GK - Buffon, (1), Del Favero
CB - Chiellini, Bonucci, Barzagli, Rugani, Benatia
RB - Lichtsteiner, (2)
LB - Sandro, Asamoah
CM - Marchisio, Pjanic, Khedira, Rincon, (3), Sturaro
FW - Dybala, (4), (5), Pjaca, Mandzukic
CF - Higuain, (6)
(1) = Szczesny
(2) = Darmian
(3) = Bentancur/Mandragora
(4) = Douglas Costa
(5) = Bernardeschi/Keita
(6) = Schick
Orsolini said he was fight for everything during preseason with us. Its cool but I think he will be loaned regardless. I wouldn't be surprised if we sign no CM and one of Bentancur or Mandragora fills that spot. For right we were linked to Darmian. Lazy link, probably made up. Still, a good RB with Serie A experience who has played a bunch with our backline (NT) and can play both sides plus CB? makes all the sense.
Costa and Schick seem almost confirmed. I pray for Bernardeschi over Keita but we'll see what is possibel and what is not.

And that's why I said it. Everyone skips doing it because they think they'll become huge! I'm $#@!ing sure of it, hell, I think even doctors at the club think so 
PSG once lived that example first hand: Mamadou sakho.
He started to lift weight to get more, and more muscles thinking he'll get better that way. In the end, he was slower than before, and less agile (as a CB, that sucked). His performances were actually not as good as before when he was thinner.
Now that's an anecdotal evidence, but I'm not sure it's good to become a muscle monsters either while retaining past qualities.
Can't that fucker just die or something?
