My non-realistic dream mercato.
Context:
- KEEP POGBA AT ALL COSTS - RENEW HIS CONTRACT AGAIN IF NECESSARY IN THE WINTER, UP IT TO 6/7M IF NEEDED
- Squad is getting older, gotta start renewing it and preparing for the future. Next season will likely be Tevez' last, gotta prepare his substitute (Coman or Berardi). This would be the right time to sell some guys like Bonucci and LLorente so we can make some money out of them and won't be stuck with their contracts in the future.
- New sponsorship quicking in, let's spend some damn money.
- Pirlo will be 36 in may. His slow game and declining ability to defend are showing more and more, despite his genious free kicks. He's a very proud guy. Unless he accepts to be a bench player, I really think we should let him go to the USA. Let him finish his time with us as a starter in Serie A this year.
- Evra makes too much for his production. Let him go to Monaco finish his career there. I think Marotta should push for this.
Leaving:
Defense:
- Storari - free (wages 1M) -he's in good shape, but is already 37. From next season on we should prepare someone to replace Buffon, someone who should get used to the pressure of playing for Juventus starting from the bench.
- Evra - free (wages 2.5M)
- Motta - free (wages 0.6M)
- Bonucci - 15M (wages 2M) - many may disagree, but IMO it's time to sell.
His contract ends in 2 years (2017). He'll be 28 at the end of this season and will look for the contract of his life. He has developed and he's good enough for Serie A, but not for Europe. I'm sure EPL would be interested in paying 12M pounds for him and offer him a biger contract than the current one.
Midfield:
- Pirlo - free (wages 3.8M)
- Marrone - free loan out (wages 0.7M)
- Romulo - loan end (do not buy, if possible - wages 1.3M)
- Pepe - free - as much as I like him, he's done at a big club (wages 1.3M)
Offense
- Llorente - 12M (wages 3.5M) - time to sell is now. He's becoming 30ish. One more poor season and not even EPL clubs will want to cover his salary.
- Giovinco - free (wages 2.2M)
Total amount of fees received: 27M
Total amoung of salaries shed away: around 19M (net)
Signings:
As I'm not currently following other leagues, it's hard to say who I'd specifically want. But the profiles of the players are clear: 26 or less yrs old players who would have future selling price. Right now our biggest needs are a starting CB to replace Bonucci and a starting LB. An AM who we can develop from the bench would also be great.
Defense
- Neto (on a free) (wages1.5M) or Pinsoglio (back from loan) - Neto looked great at Fiorentina and still is 24 yrs old. Getting him will be tough though. If he wants too much of a salary, Pinsoglio is already ours and has been super steady in Serie B the last 2 years. And he's still fairly young at 26 or stg. Currently playing for Pescara. Leali is too young yet.
- Schar - 14M (wages 2M) - he looks pretty good. He's got a lot of upside. Contract approaching its end. He would be a solid addition to fight Barzagli and Rugani for a starting spot as a right footed CB.
- Kurzawa -16M (wages 1.5M) - we desperately need youth and pace at the LB position. This guy or any of the other promising kids in Germany of France.
- Rugani - 7M (wages 1.2M) (for half)
Midfield
- Pereyra (15M) - he will definitely be bought, it is an obligation to buy (not an option). It's Udinese we're dealing here.
- Sturaro - already bought
- Mikhtaryan - 20M (wages 3M) - Dortmund will fail miserably both in the league and at CL (losing to us), Mikhtaryan won't have a good 2nd half of the season also and they'll ship him away.
Offense
- Berardi (wage 1.5M) - 12M (co-own)
- Zaza (wage 1.2M) - 15M
- co-own signings: wel'll probably spend around 6M getting the other half of Boaye and Goldaniga, and then loaning them out.
Total spent: 105M (counting with Pereyra and co-own spending)
Salaries in: around 12M net
Totals: - around 80M spent (lol)
- positive 8M net (16M gross) on salaries.
So at the end of the season it's a true 64M spent, since the wages were actually reduced.
We must make an effort now to improve the team and prepare for the coming yers. This would be a good time to start it. Later we must find a replacement for Licht, Chiellini and Buffon.
