As Juventus prepare to celebrate the Scudetto, Beppe Marotta plans the transfer strategy one department at a time.
The Bianconeri's comeback season looks likely to conclude with another title victory, and Coach Max Allegri is widely expected to renew.
In order to aim for the Champions League in the next two years, however, Allegri also asked for the team's top elements to be confirmed.
As Juventus prepare to celebrate the Scudetto, Beppe Marotta plans the transfer strategy one department at a time.
The Bianconeri's comeback season looks likely to conclude with another title victory, and Coach Max Allegri is widely expected to renew.
In order to aim for the Champions League in the next two years, however, Allegri also asked for the team's top elements to be confirmed.
La Gazzetta dello Sport ran an extensive report on Juventus' transfer plans, claiming they intend to reject all offers for Paul Pogba, Leonardo Bonucci and Paulo Dybala.
Pogba is about to receive an offer for a contract extension, with the club expecting him to give them an answer by mid-May. Defender Andrea Barzagli will be offered an extension too.
Should the Frenchman opt to move out, they will aim for Leicester's N'Golo Kante, Real Madrid's Isco, or Borussia Dortmund's Henrikh Mkhitaryan as a replacement.
The injury of Claudio Marchisio compels Marotta to look for new signings in the midfield. The rumours of an interest in Milan's Riccardo Montolivo have been dispelled, with slim chances of signing Paris Saint-Germain's Marco Verratti or Borussia Dortmund's Ikay Gundogan. They may target instead Valencia's Andre Gomes, Lazio's Lucas Biglia, or Bologna's Amadou Diawara.
In the attacking department, reports insist that Marotta will offer Real Madrid €25m to let them keep Alvaro Morata. The Spaniard came to Juventus with a buy-back clause that lets the Merengues take him back for €30m.
It is believed that Simone Zaza will leave the club due to his somewhat unhappy relationship with Allegri, and may be sold to a Premier League club for €25m. His replacement is going to be Sassuolo's Domenico Berardi, who has long been targeted by the Old Lady.
