If we succeed in attaining Alex & Vargas - that would end up being an additional ~EU25m in spend on top of the EU38m spent for Lichsteiner, Vucinic, and Vidal. Total gross spend of EU63m (knowing that Ziegler, Pirlo and Pazienza were free). The EU35m we spend in buying out the loans for Pepe, Grosso, Matri & Quags DO NOT count for this years budget (they were already accounted for last year). So EU63m in gross spend.
Remember, that it was well documented that Juve COULD do a NET spend of EU50m this year. Sissoko was sold for 7m, We get 1.5m for Melo (with the remaining 11-12m a year later if we chose not to sell him). Assuming we can sell Martinez, Manninger, Amauri & Iaquinta for EU18m collectively, we are looking at a Net spend of ONLY EU36m. This would seem to leave EU14m left over for another player.
I have a suspicion that this EXTRA player will be a central midfielder. Currently, we have Pirlo, Vidal, Pazienza and Marchisio. Pirlo is quite unique among the 4 and arguably, we would need a 5th central mid. My guess is that could easily be AQUILANI. We refused to buy him out for EU17m (which was a good move by Marotta) and Milan seem more keen on Montolivo. I reckon there is a pretty good chance we can get Aquilani for around EU12m which would be a good deal. Then our squad would be complete.
Potential squad list for 2011/12:

BUFFON
STORARI
KIREV

LICHSTEINER
MOTTA (or could be sold and we get a back RB on loan)
ALEX
CHIELLINI
BONUCCI
BARZAGLI
ZIEGLER
DE CEGLIE
MIDs:
KRASIC
PEPE
VIDAL
PIRLO
MARCHISIO
AQUILANI
PAZIENZA
VARGAS
PASQUATO
STRIKERS:
VUCINIC

Matchday line-up:
---------------Buffon----------------
Lichsteiner---Alex---Chiellini----Ziegler
Krasic-----Vidal------Pirlo------Vargas
----------Matri--------Vucinic--------
Bench: Storari, Bonucci, Pepe, Marchisio, Aquilani, Del Piero, Quagliarella
That would be a very STRONG squad. I would be totally satisfied with that transfer season even if it meant we didn't get a real game-changer like Nani, Aguero, Vidic or Rossi.
