Juventus will take punitive action against fringe players refusing to leave the club, according to
Il Corriere dello Sport.
Those who obstruct the club's strategy will be shown the iron fist, with possible exclusions from the squad for the whole season as Giuseppe Marotta takes a hard-line approach with players who are no longer part of the club's plans, but are refusing to accept offers from elsewhere.
Up to 13 players are expected to move on from Turin, meaning the club will slice a mega wage bill of around €142 million. Marotta has been told to slash those costs, with many players facing the sharp end of cuts.
Mauro Camoranesi, Fabio Grosso, Hassan Salihamidzic, Jonathan Zebina, Zdenek Grygera and Chrtistian Poulsen are among those the club are not counting on for next season. Unless they move on, they face a long and hard season watching from the bench.
Camoranesi has refused AEK Athens, Hercules Alicante, Riverplate, Paris Saint-Germain and Olympiacos, but on Tuesday his agent confirmed Birmingham City had made an offer, suggesting he has heeded the Old Lady's message.
