A New Day for Juventus: This summer could result in a fire sale in Northern Italy

A New Day for Juventus: This summer could result in a fire sale in Northern Italy

Here we go! If the board at Juventus actually gets serious about building a team that can compete for a Champions League title, Fabrizio Romano is going to need a raise. This summer Juventus needs to go firesale mode. More than a handful of players need to go and the club needs to get a hold of their loan system so they can actually benefit from loaning players out. 

And don’t get me wrong! Juve isn’t a dumpster fire. There is still an excellent young core of players within this team that are worth investing in. That being said, I comprised a list of just about every Juventus player and what I think the club should do with them. I even tried to tackle what they should do with their loan-system. Below is a detailed list of who needs to go and I’m not going to lie there’s a lot of players that could be on their way out. 

At the end of the day, not all of these players will leave but if Juve gets at least 60% of them off the books, I consider that a win. Let me know what you think of the list and if you disagree with moving on from certain players. Cheers.

Note if a current Juve player isn’t listed, it’s because I think they should stay (duh). And if you think I should have used a spreadsheet you’re most definitely right.
