We can still get both of them. Both expiring, both leaving, both would still make a world of difference with just their experience.

What rebuilding? We have to fight for the title until last round next season, this is not supposed to be a long rebuild.
We need both. Even this season when everyone is healthy the starting 11 is not the worst, but look what happens when they get injured.
I didn't say they are must have. But neither of them will be very expensive, they're not big ego or demanding players. They are just the right characters we need for these young players. I want DV and Kean if he's here next season maybe learning a thing or two from Cavani. Same for Chiesa and Zaniolo if he comes from Di Maria etc.

So many changes are still needed.
Players that must leave/be sold:
Sandro
Fagiot
Arturd
Glassmsey
Players that should leave/be sold/retire:
Turdeski
Chiellini
Kean
De Shitlio
Players likely to leave/be sold:
Morata
Dybala
That potentially leaves us with the same set of goalies (Woj, Perin and Pinsoglio); Rugani, De Ligt, Gatti and Bonucci as CBs; Pellegrini, Cuads and Danilo as FBs; McNuggets, Zakaria and Locatelli in midfield; Kaio, Chiesa and Vlahovic in attack, with Cuads deputizing in an advanced role if necessary.
Kaio and Chiesa might not be ready for the start of the new season, and who knows what form they will be in once they do recover. Rugani has been solid, but will this latest brainfart impact his fragile mental constitution? If we lose both Morata and Dybala, who do we bring in? Will our injury problems continue to persist and how will Bonucci perform as he nears the tail end of his career? Will his body be able to hold up? So many ifs and buts, so sweeping changes are necessary.
De Winter and Rovella can be retained to deputize in various roles across the defense and midfield. We still need more quality in midfield - a shame we didn't take up that option on Traore. We don't need a lazy uninspired high earner on insane wages, but that's what's probably going to happen when we flip Dybala and bring in Jogba. If we are so keen on deploying a 4-3-3, we need more pace and dynamism. Good luck with that.
