The commentator on today's game mentioned Giuntuli was really trying to bring back Pintus. That. Would be an epic signing. Post Allegri's first era and toward the end of it, we haven't been able to compete in fitness levels even against minnows. Pintus made footballers out of everyone by just making them beasts. RM have had a lot of difficult injuries lately, but that may be the result of their endless schedule I suppose.
Regarding players, keep:
Perin, Cambiaso, Yildiz, Kalulu, Bremer, Gatti, Pinsoglio, Savona (he is cheap and HG), McKennie, Thuram, Mbangula (cheap), Miretti (cheap backup).
The rest are not bad but I am OK with them leaving if we find better options or equally good but cheaper alternatives. I'd like to keep a few younger cheaper players to allow a more flexible budget.
But, these need to leave:
Weah, Luiz, Cabal (if possible), Kelly, Rouhi, Milik and based on his cost and expiring contract, Vlahovic.

Just between options and obligations, we've already committed in the excess of 130M
Kalulu - €14M
DiGre - €15M
Kily Gonzalez - €28M
Kelly - €20M
And then there's the likes of Conceicao and Veiga who both could cost in the excess of €60M combined minimum.
Obligation for Kelly was an absolute disaster deal. He should be redeemed and sold immediately.
And I really doubt Conceicao is going to stay beyond this season especially if we insist on a back 3.
And in that situation, Veiga would become someone who could be useful in the current setup.
Even with possibility of CL and new sponsorship revenue, we're going to have a lot unresolved issues over the summer.

He's French, playing for the best club in his country, with a legitimate chance to make the Champions League final, and will make more money there than he would here.
If/when he's ready to leave PSG, it will be for a big boy club for top wages -- In other words, not Juventus
I don't know why he'd have any interest in leaving PSG in the near future. They have a really good thing going there post-Mbappe and could be set up for a nice run over the next few years.
