Tuttosport claims Juventus could be set for a summer of revolution, with three senior players leaving and three coming in.

In this morning’s edition, the Italian daily depicts the faces of Gianluigi Buffon, Alex Sandro and Claudio Marchisio as the men likely to depart the Turinclub.

Goalkeeping icon Buffon, out of contract this summer, has still not made a final decision regarding his future – although at this stage it appears likely that the 40-year-old will leave. He may retire altogether, although he is reported to have held talks with Argentine club Boca Juniors in recent days.

Left-back Sandro, meanwhile, has been linked with the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, while Marchisio is approaching the twighlight of his career and has made only 17 appearances this campaign.

It is said that Juve CEO Beppe Marotta’s prime targets to replace Sandro and Marchisio are Manchester United’s Matteo Darmian and Liverpool’s Emre Can.

The Italy full-back has been little more than a squad player for Old Trafford boss Jose Mourinho this season, while the injured Can continues to bide his time over announcing his future plans. The midfielder is out of contract at Anfield at the end of the season.

The Old Lady are also said to have big plans for Mattia Caldara. According to Tuttosport, the defender has impressed during his loan spell at Atalanta, so much so that Juve are planning to include him in their first team plans from the start of 2018-19.

Replacing Buffon, Marchisio and Alex Sandro for Woj, Can and Darmian isn't what I hoped for.

I really hope we invest in some quality fullbacks this summer. MDS and Darmian are fine as back-up, but we need better starters. I'd go for Emerson and Nelson Semedo

Rugani could be sold imo, same goes for Sturaro and Licht and Asamoah are out of contract.

Really odd situation to be in. Our attacking options are fine as it is, couldn't wish for much more. But the defence really needs a major overhaul

I dont think Rugani is on the market..
Sturaro will probably stay as well unless Lazio asks for him in the SMS deal (if a deal like that happens at all)
Buffon ->Polak - Might not be our 1st choice GK but lets give him a chance..
Marchisio - He didnt really play this year and is more than just done..
A.Sandro - Not his best season but still a great player
So.. if you think about it we dont really replace 3 players as one is already on our team while the second one didnt really contribute this season and we replaced him a long time ago without even noticing..
The only one who we need to get a replacement for is A.Sandro

Rugani - I hope we keep him as someone here made a good point saying Bonucci wasnt as good as Rugani at his age - Its true Bonucci was a laughing stock here - I remember we all feared for another howler from him.. then he grew up and became a WC defender

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)

- - - Updated - - -



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..
Look, If we play a 3 man midfield where do we play dybala? Dybala on the right wing is sooo wasted as seen in many champions league matches.

But i agree to sign another Defensive midfielder, someone like Fabinho. But that would mean to play a 3 man midfield.

Unless we play a 4312 and we get a great number 10.

Woj for the 40 year old is a step up, with the rest i agree.

:lol: his goal ratio was top notch but he was a strong personality so naturally Poop froze him out
He needs yes-men, just like Jogi :agree:

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
AS by who? People love double standards: Has Asa a better season for his level? of course. Has AS a bad season for his level? of course. However that doesnt implies Asa has had a better season than AS like a lot of people is making out of nothing.

Asa is Inda or turkey league level player, AS is a potential top EPL team player so again, who would u bring to replace AS?
