True. He is our best defender overall but we are pretty stacked in defence. I'm not saying his absence wouldn't be felt, but it would not be a heavy blow to our team. If we could get 60 million for him I think Marotta would consider accepting and strengthening other areas of the team that really need improvement (midfield!).
Selling Bonucci right now would be downright stupid. Chiellini and Barzagli can't go a full season anymore. Rugani is coming into his own but still is quite young. Caldara won't be joining until 2018 and even then will need a couple of seasons with Juve to develop into a world class defender. I'd like to think the club is smarter than selling him this summer.
What, a weak statement from Paratici? If they really were serious about keeping him it would be Marotta saying something like 'Bonucci is an important part of this club etc etc', not basically say the player is free to leave if he wants.
