Paratici is interested in plusvaleza and desperate for reducing the wage bill. Remember, the wage structure was already disproportional before COVID-19. Also, I'm thinking Sarri stays, and they will make some effort to bring players he likes/is familiar with.

So, we have to work with 3 premises:

1 - they will consider Sarri's preferences when signing players;
2 - they will only sign a player if another player leave;
3 - it will be tough as hell to get rid of these shit players. They are all old or grossly overpaid.

So even if I think we really should offload a bunch of players, I expect not many to leave - and, therefore, not many to come.

These guys will leave only with big buonuscitas (Khedira, Matuidi, Higuain) or if the receiveing club is helped with salaries (loan - Rugani, De Sciglio, maybe even Bernardeschi). But come on, loaning De Sciglio out is pointless. Just let his contract run out (2022).

Other washed veterans like Ramsey and Costa probably won't accept the level of clubs that would be interested and that can afford them (I"m talking about USA, China, mid level EPL). So I think they continue.

Conclusion: even if a lot of players should leave, just a little will. I'd guess Rugani, Khedira, Higuain.

Paratici will look for plusvalenza opportunities with other players like a madman, though. Alex Sandro and Douglas Costa are prime targets. I think he'll find the way to cash in the first, while bringing a well known Sarri player. With Costa, only god knows.

This is the team the pessimist in me predicts:

Scz
Cuadrado - De Ligt - Bonucci - Emerson Palmieri (on loan - if fit)
Jorginho (exchange for Alex Sandro + some)
Artur - Bentancour
Kulusevski
Dybala- Ronaldo

Bench: Buffon, Danilo, Demiral, Chiellini, De Sciglio (if fit), Rabiot, Matuidi, Ramsey (if fit), Costa, Milik (exchange for Berna)

I wouldn't expect much better than that...

Wow. You downgraded massively @ LB, getting that POS plumber. Not only that, you also sold our only decent fullback (I still consider Cuads more of a winger) in exchange for an overrated one dimensional 29 year old. That would be one shitty deal, and Chelsea would definitely be the winners, coming out on top and laughing about it.

We should not accommodate Sorri because he's an interim coach. I don't see him lasting beyond next season, and he shouldn't, and if ee bring in players for his shitty system, we'll struggle to dispose of them later. Plumbers Failieri and Fagjinho are exactly the typr of deals we should be staying away from. Mediocre to average ageing footballers with 0 resale value? No thanks.

I was kind of bold in my moves lol. Remember, this is my pessimistic point of view of what they will do in the summer - not what I want to be done.

A more simplistic (and maybe even more realistic) approach would be to simply keep Sandro, and instead of getting Jorginho (which should be expensive), to sign an average Italian guy like Locatelli.

Now you have Scz - Cuadrado, De Ligt, Bonucci, Sandro - Artur, Benta, Rabiot - Kulusevski, Dybala, Ronaldo.

Bench: Buffon, Danilo, Demiral, Chiellini (if fit), De Sciglio (if fit) - Locatelli, Matuidi, Ramsey - Bernardeschi, Milik, Douglas Costa

Chelsea signed Ziyech and Werner. Now in talks with Haverts. Can we not do the same? instead we looking at Zapatas and Jorginhos for similar prices lol

Hell no , for 80m I would rather sign Zaniolo who's also better

Fapworthy news of the day

Wont get any better imo

 

[KirilovBG]

We had to go for Werner, hell of a promising predator, only Halaand better than him from the youngsters.

 

[suligodsilla]

This friend of Sarri said that the best Scudetto present would be Jorginho. Let's see if he would be willing to come here, he sounded in the past like somebody who doesn't understand Golzalo and Sarri that they moved to us

He's called the leech. You're talking about a guy who left Stuttgart and Real at the end of his contract. He is a gifted person, you can be sure that in September he will be there and that he will leave Juve only when he will be free agent.

New contacts between Juventus and Barcelona for Mattia De Sciglio in the last few days. Operation estimated to be around €10M. Juventus would give the green light. Juve could bring back Luca Pellegrini.(tmw)

 

[Badass J Elkann]

What on earth happened to Piatek? He was the next big thing at Genoa.. anyone think he would be any use as a Higuain replacement?

disappeared to hertha berlin

 

[JuveJay]

A fine club for the best striker in the world.

 

[Orgut]

The only Chelsea player I want is Kante but of course we will be getting Jorginho

 

[TheLaz]

I find it incredibly hard to value Jorginho. He's the type of player I simply just can't put a price on..

For the right price, I think we should get him. But I have no idea what that is. If we can get Emerson + Jorginho for Alex Sandro + a pouch of cash Id do it.

 

[Albo]

Jorginho for Ramsey i would do it .

Fuck Fagjinho and that other Chelsea pseudo Brazilian plumber Failieri. These are the types of acquistions you make if you're a mid tier club, not Juventus.

Fagjinho will command a hefty fee (probably in excess of 50 million, so definitely not worth it). Plumberson Failieri as the starting LB is the stuff of nightmares - we'd officially have the worst selection of fullbacks among the elite, and the worst at Juventus since the dark days of Motta and Molinaro.

Allegri wants Khedira at PSG. He contacted a few Juve players to join him there. -

Hopefully he takes Khedria, MDS and DC there.

Allegri our savior, even if he's not here anymore

Maybe he'll take Berna too?

 

[Amer]

Bonucci would also fit in there nicely.

Khedira still blackmailing Allegri I see

Are you saying that Jorginho is priceless?

 

[Amer]

We were tracking Jorginho when he played for Verona and Paratici is known to eventually sign players that he was tracking and missed to sign. Just saying.
