Juventus confirm 11 for next year Juventus have apparently confirmed the 11 players they aren't prepared to sell in the summer. As for the rest, they can leave.
The Bianconeri have already started the re-building process after a terrible season. They currently lie seventh in Serie A and have nothing to play for other than the Europa League and qualification for next year's Champions League.
A lot of attention has fallen on the competency of the board in recent months, but vice-general manager Roberto Bettega is said to be already working on the composition of next year's squad, which promises to be radically different from the existing one.
La Gazzetta dello Sport understands Mauro Camoranesi and David Trezeguet will be leaving Turin. They are both 32 and have one year left on their current deals, so it's the last chance for the Bianconeri to cash in on their talents.
Juventus are also said to be reluctant to give Fabio Cannavaro the option of playing another year while Fabio Grosso is expected to be in the departures lounge, together with Tiago and Molinaro who left the club on loan in January.
Martin Caceres and even Antonio Candreva are also apparently in limbo as the board is unsure whether they in fact deserve a permanent place in Turin.

Whilst this is clearly a deliberate attempt from the Gazzetta dell'Inter to further destabilise the team, it probably isn't a million miles away as far as looking at the team is concerned.
There are some who need to stay through importance: Buffon, Chiellini, Sissoko, Marchisio, Diego, Del Piero, Iaquinta. These are indispensable players.
Other young players: De Ceglie, Giovinco
Expensive buys: Felipe Melo, Amauri
That is pretty much the 11. I believe Legrottaglie, Manninger and Grygera will also stay as rotational players.
Those in danger: Caceres (loan), Candreva (loan), Chimenti (free), Zebina, Salihamidzic, Poulsen, Molinaro, Almiron, Tiago, Cannavaro, Grosso, Camoranesi, Paolucci, Trezeguet
Co-owns/loans: Pisani, Duravia, Venitucci, Bianco, Vecchione, Maniero, D'Antoni, Palladino
We would be lucky to get €40m for all those players we own.

That is the basic of what we need, squad players can be filled in with frees and some of the talented other youth we have. There are several good free agents this summer.
