The market has not even opened yet so it is too early to evaluate the mercato. With that said I think we all get the feeling that not enough is happening.
My hunch so far is that we cannot make as many moves as we would hope and frankly need to without sales. The issue is the years of mismanagement as we have built a team with more unmovable and if not unmovable very unattractive assets in terms of Juve book value and player salary demand. The players we have been linked to also highlight this trying to find quality with minimal investment but not long term quality solutions which naturally are more expensive.
To move away from the weak assets we likely talk about years before the transition is complete. Perhaps one could argue that it is better to take the hit quickly and not prolong our suffering get rid of as many players as possible within the same financial period which will entail a loss, try to manage FFP, and then move on from there.
this Ofc is not without risks in terms of squad quality and depth as well as the financial impact. But it might be the quickest course of action

Agreed.
So far this early transfer market has seen activity in the form of loans returning/leaving and contracts expiring.
Incoming:
- Federico Chiesa - 40m
Returning:
- Merih Demiral, on loan at Atalanta (Serie A)
- Rolando Mandragora. on loan at Torino (Serie A)
- Nicolo Rovella, on loan at Genoa (Serie A0
- Nicolo Fagioli, on loan at Cremonese (Serie B)
- Federico Gatti, on loan at Frosinone (Serie B)
- Mohamed Ihattaren, on loan at Ajax (Eredivisie)
- Marko Pjaca, on loan at Torino (Serie A)
- Radu Dragusin, on loan at Salernitana (Serie A)
- Gianluca Frabotta, on loan at Hellas Verona (Serie A)
- Stefano Gori, on loan at Como (Serie B)
Outgoing:
- Douglas Costa, contract expired
- Giorgio Chiellini, contract expired
- Paulo Dybala, contract expired
- Federico Bernardeschi, contract expired
- Alvaro Morata, loan ended
You'd have to think Ihattaren won't be actually returning and will be sold very cheap. Gatti, Fagioli, Rovella, and maybe Frabotta will be fighting for a position on the squad. Demiral, Mandragora, Pjaca, Dragusin, and Gori will be sold. And look at the cleaning of the wage bill. Nearly 40m net wages.

I'd rather much take the stealth route and not be an open book about interests in players. Moggi was the best at this, smokescreens all over the place to lure the players we actually wanted. I thought the vlahovic transfer was very much like this, even though it was known we were after a CF, we all thought scamacca or the like would join meanwhile overnight it is a vlahovic done deal. Very much to everyone's surprise.
I can only praise what this current management have done so far...vlahovic and zakaria were good transfers. Dybala and bernadeschi not renewed were the right decisions. Until other confirmed deals or business comes through, we can't be shit canning these guys.

Kostic and Zaniolo - I am ok with that. Fuck Retardi, the overrated Italian Jabroni. Chiesa is a definite starter when he comes back, and Cuads can also be deployed as a winger. I'd like Gabriel Jesus, but we probably aren't going for him.
Forget about any of the Bundesliga or Ligue 1 talents, unless they are on expiring contracts (2023) or aging.
Udogie and Molina for LB and RB respectively, and that would be an almost ideal Mercato. If only we could somehow get SMS.
