I don't think Dybala will be sold this season. Mainly because there will be no suitors. He's had a meh season for a player of his potential and I see no desperate clubs like Barca was last summer. This mercato big bucks will go for players like Salah, Griezmann, Kane, maybe Hazard.

So Martial, SMS, Can and Darmian in with Paulo, Mandzo and AS Out???? That's an even weaker team than this season, Max would have to do miracles again.
Funny that u mention 3 player who have had a crap season.

Sandro is done for.

Mandzukic is sporadicly used.

We dont even know what to do with dybala.

Im not suggesting a sale for those 3, but objectively, they are not even our best players. With 3 new players who could really fit in our formation, we could improve the team.

Dybala is thw only debatable ones. The other 2 are replaceable

Guess you don't have such a good eye for talent
or.. You have overrated Saviola like many other people..
Dybala will never be Messi but give him an attacking team and you`ll see him grow to a top 5
Martial is a good player but isnt as good as Dybala and this is based on stats and on watching both play

Mbappe is twice the talent Martial is and they are not even in the same league in terms of talent..
That being said - Martial still can become a very good player but dont expect him to become the new Thierry Henry..

I dont think you understand where is our biggest problem..
Our attack - Yeah its not Barca or Real but we are actually not bad at all
Our defense - Yeah we had better days but we are still one of the best in the world
Our GK - Well right now we have Buffon and we must evaluate the Polak next season..
Our midfield - If we play with 3 men midfield - Pjanic is good while the others are meh..
If we play with 2 men midfield Pjanic is ok but we need another strong player (I hate the 4-2-3-1 formation as its giving up on midfield which is important especially against possession teams..
The only one mentioned for midfield is Can and you said its instead of Sturaro which means 2 things:
1. We need someone of Sturaro`s type (hopefully someone who knows something about football)...
2. We need a strong midfielder who can seriously upgrade our midfield

The mercato you specified means we keep the current quality but ignore our real problem

In any case you probably expect A.Sandro to be sold and I guess you can expect another midfielder even if we sign Can (which by that time I guess he chose City Real or Bayern)

Lol you are the one who probably playing it instead of watching..
If you cant see the difference in quality between Mbappe and Martial this whole talk is ridiculous..

Richarlison on Juve radar? | Football Italia

Juventus are reportedly one of three clubs interested in signing Watford forward Richarlison.

Gazzetta dello Sport cites reports in The Sun and Mirror, which claim Richarlison is being pursued by Juve, Manchester United and Bayern Munich.

However, it is noted United are leading the chase for the Brazilian, given they see him as ‘the perfect replacement’ for Anthony Martial, who himself has been linked with the Bianconeri.

The 20-year-old joined Watford from Fluminense last summer in a €12.5m deal and has gone on to impress in the Premier League, scoring five goals and assisting as many in 37 appearances.
Good player, could be a rotation player for us, but probably not worthy the price.

He's like a Mandzukic lite LW who runs like hell and contributes all the ways he can - he's loved by supporters because of that. Kind of reminds me of Zaza a little bit.

But no, I wouldn't invest 30-40M on him.

Yes. He's showing time and time again he's not Madrid/Barca/Bayern level.

Even though I could see a EPL or PSG going for him.

Not sure I would care that much... he's just a weird fit in modern football, which is based on spacing.

And I don't like his body language, he does give the impression he doesn't really want to be at Juve.

About mercato... I wouldn't hold my hopes high.

We are paying 40M for Costa.

Salaries are sky high, and I believe we have reached a bit of a wall in terms of increasing revenue. Debt has also been increasing along the income.

I think we are sustainable as we are, but a bit on the limit. Don't think there will be room for spending much more than Costa's at all.

So unless we weaken some position to strengthen another (that's what Marotta has done throughout the years), I don't have expectations.

You are right but there is always a trickle down effect. For instance if Chelsea sell Hazard they might be looking for someone with creativity to fill in that role. Could open the door for Dybala.

There will be a few huge moves that will start a buying frenzy but his (non) role in the world cup wont really help him. I dont like the thought of selling him but I also dont think its the end of the world. In the days of the single striker he is a little tough to fit in unless you build the team around him. On his day he is well worth it but when hes not all there its a bit predictable and really hurts the team.

I would like to see him with a strong midfield behind him that can cover where hes not always having to play deep or ask our wingers(cuads and Mandzo)to play defense putting him on an isalnd
