First, there were shake-ups in the club leadership embodied by the withdrawal of Andrea Agnelli, then the sanction of the Italian Football Association, which deprived Juventus of 15 points and practically left them without the Champions League next season, and as things stand, some of the team’s biggest names will leave in the summer. As Gazzetta dello Sport assures – five footballers whose contracts expire at the end of the cycle will leave Turin.Understandable, if you consider that due to the accumulated problems, it is difficult to expect the Old Lady to fight for trophies in the foreseeable future, and some of the prominent first-team players are not interested in staying in such an environment. That’s why parting ways is the most logical solution.🚨 John Elkann is preparing to cutdown costs at Juventus at the end of the season. The contracts of Paredes, Cuadrado, Di Maria, Rabiot and Alex Sandro will not be renewed, which will save the club €70m.

Moreover, il Bianconeri estimated that it is better for them to pay a penalty of 2,500,000 euros to the French for not buying the midfielder, than to buy him at a price of 22,600,000.##EDITORS_CHOICE##All of this is just part of the plan to save at least 70,000,000 euros, which is what Juventus needs to ‘breath’ a bit after everything that happened in recent months. Renewing the contracts of some of the higher-paid players of the team does not make sense and therefore all five will look for a new environment.Of the footballers whose contracts expire in the summer, a new one will only be offered to the third goalkeeper Carlo Pinsoglio, who has not defended a single second this season, while there is still a possibility that Juve will buy Arkadiusz Milik from Marseille, because he is satisfied with how the Pole has performed, and the estimates are such that his stay would not burden the books too much.SERIE A – Matchday 21Saturday Cremonese – Lecce 0-2 (0-0)/Baschirotto 58, Strefezza 59/Roma – Empoli 2-0 (2-0)/Ibanez 2, Abraham 6/Sassuolo – Atalanta 1-0 (0-0)/Lauriente 55/Sunday Spezia – Napoli 0-3 (0-0)/Kvaratskhelia 47 pen, Osimhen 69, 73/Torino – Udinese 1-0 (0-0)/Karamoh 49/Fiorentina – Bologna 1-2 (1-1)/Saponara 19 – Orsolini 14 pen, Posch 47/Inter – Milan 1-0 (1-0)/Lautaro 34/Monday Verona – Lazio 1-1 (0-1)/Pedro 45 – Ngonge 51/Monza – Sampdoria 2-2 (1-1)/Petagna 32, Pessina 90+9 – Gabbiadini 12 ,58/Tuesday 22.45: (6.00) Salernitana (3.80) Juventus (1.60)***odds are subject to change***
