That would be very underwhelming tbh. We still need a winger/AM with potential to step in without losing on quality. We need a player that will be able to play as a winger in case Higuain is out and Mandzukic moves to CF. Same goes for Dybala. Sanchez would be the dream but I'll put my money on Bernardeschi since Berardi seems to be moving towards inter.
Bentacur and Orsolini are still very young I doubt those two will be included, I expect at least one to be loaned out. As things stand one of Sturaro and Lemina should leave and if we sign Tolisso then both should leave tbh. Pjanic, Khedira, Marchisio, Tolisso, Rincon for 4231 is more than enough. Then we bring in Spinazzola and Bernardeschi and we're good to go.
BTW. I don't think that De Ceglie is even on the Serie A list of Juve's.

Both Tolisso and Spinazzola would probably play some games on the wing if they came here. Both are eclectic and can play multiple positions. I don't see any chance of Struraro being sold, he just signed a long contract extension this season and seems to be happy with his role as a squad player. I think we will keep some of the U21 players around just for depth not sure who those will be. Mattiello is another interesting case as I think Allegri rates him quite highly and he's also quite versatile. He just lacks any real match fitness at the moment, that might change during the summer.
Dream mercato is signing Verratti and Bernardesch or Sanchez.
But the most important for me is: hold the core of the squad.
Don't sell any important player and buy only a player if it makes us better (world class) or makes us potentially better (talent a la Berna). Don't buy to much if it is not necesarry, we have a great squad and we can use more depth in midfield and a left winger, but don't overspend to spend. We aren't Real or United, look at Bayern take the irresistible deals (free agents, Tevez etc.) or buy world class on the place you need.

I dont see a problem with squad size but i also dont see PDC and Lemina as the only ones to leave, that would be shortsighted planning imo. I think Asamoah will leave, and Licht too.
01. Buffon
02. Neto
03. Audero (or some other homegrown keeper)
04. Barzagli
05. Bonucci
06. Chiellini
07. Rugani
08. Benatia
09. Alex Sandro
10. Dani Alves
11. New player (MDS, Darmian, or a surprise)
12. Spinazzola
13. Pjanic
14. Khedira
15. Marchisio
16. New CM (Tolisso, Goretzka, Can, Paredes etc)
17. Rincon
18. Sturaro
19. Cuadrado
20. Mandzukic
21. Dybala
22. Pjaca
23. New attacker (di Maria, Berna, Costa)
24. New attacker (Keita or someone else cheap)
25. Higuain
26. Mandragora - U21
27. Bentancur - U21
28. Orsolini - U21
29. Clemenza - U21
30. Kean - U21
(no idea which and how many U21s we will keep)
I think we will get 5 players, 2 of which will be depth for the offensive position (preferably versatile players like Berna), one CM and 2 younger fullbacks (i like the De Sciglio/Darmian and Spinazzola pairing, because both can play both sides, so in case if injury to AS or DA we will have one start and still one on the bench who can rotate on both sides). Id loan Mattiello to Atalanta as replacement for Spazzolino, since they seem to be good at developing fullbacks/wingbacks

Lets not call players that fail in EPLOL finished, you need to have a very low football IQ to play the shit they like to call football. Matteo was a quality player for Torino, he just needs the right club to bounce back

Not sure that's the way to go. I'd rather we avoided situations like the one with Lichtsteiner from now on.
Not sure Lichtsteiner or Asamoah will either leave by the way. I'd give a small chance on Lichtsteiner leaving but I think there is absolutely no chance of Asamoah going anywhere and would be quite disappointed if we let him go.

Dont sell Asa, dont buy Spinats and Benatia, sell Sturaro and Rincon. Otherwise it looks good.
Out: Licht, Lemina, Sturaro, Rincon, Benatia(loan end), Zaza and Coman
In: Young RB backup (MDS looks most likely), Bentancur, Orsolino, Young CM (Goretzka or Tolisso probably), starting materiel RW/LW (Hopefully Sanchez) and young RW/LW (Bernadeshi, Keita, Berardi)
We probably have to buy Cuadrado as well.

my logic is that someone has to leave, cant keep the same squad each year without 3-4 fresh additions, and when looking at the suq<as we have then Licht and Asa seem to be the most logical to me. Rincon just arrived, Stu isnt going nowhere and just signed a contract, who else is an option really? dont know

Sturaro wont leave, he signed a contract recently and is a good aggressive CM to play some games. Rincon arrived few months ago, dont think we will get rid of him so quickly. Benatia will most likely stay and Spinazzola is our player already, he is loaned out to Atalanta iirc

Sturaro is a terrible player. Still reasonably young so we should sell him now while he still has some value. Rincon was a useless stupid buy and we should get ride of him now. There is no need for Benatia if we plan on sticking with a back four as plan A. That being said this is my wishes, and I think you are right Sturaro, Rincon and Benatia will be here next year as well. This probably also means that we wont get both 2 wingers and a CM. At least not Sanchez, Veratti etc. class signings.
