Juventus prepare to overhaul their squad ahead of the forthcoming season, knowing that any effort this season has already dissipated following the 15-point deduction. They plan to reduce costs by not renewing the contracts of several names within the roster, many of who arrived at the start of the current season.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Tuttomercatoweb), the new Bianconeri management led by John Elkann plan to cut around €70M in spending focused mainly on player wages. Five players have been recognized to leave the club at the end of the season.
Elkann's objective is simple, get the finances in order and get rid of certain players, without seeing the whole team being broke up. Juve MUST remain in Serie A at all costs, but it is ok to miss out on Europe in order to streamline costs more easily. [#PaoloNonmollo]

The list includes Angel Di Maria, Adrien Rabiot, Alex Sandro, Juan Caudrado and Leandro Paredes. All the aforementioned players see their deals expire in the summer of 2023.
The intention is to focus on building the youth sector, with Matias Soule, Samuel Iling Junior, Nicolo Fagioli and Fabio Miretti already being promoted to the first-team following their meteoric development.
Juventus sit in 13th place after 21 games, with 23 points. They face Salernitana and Fiorentina next before going on to contest for the UEFA Europa League against French outfit Nantes.
