Dybala, Pjanic to leave in major Juve overhaul?

Paulo Dybala and Miralem Pjanic may reportedly be sacrificed by Juventus following a disappointing campaign that saw them exit the Champions League in the quarter-finals.

Juventus are reportedly prepared to sell Paulo Dybala and Miralem Pjanic in the summer as part of a major squad overhaul.

The Italian side spent big to land Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid last summer, but all they have to show for it is an eighth Serie A title in a row.

Juve exited the Champions League and Coppa Italia at the quarter-final stage and are expected to lose manager Massimiliano Allegri once the season is over.

According to agent Donato Di Campli, there will also be a number of comings and goings in terms of players, with Dybala and Pjanic potentially two high-profile casualties of an underwhelming campaign.

"Allegri or no Allegri, there'll be a revolution with the players and staff," Di Campli told Tuttosport. "A huge overhaul is needed, with some big ins and outs. There's a need to plan again and renew.

"Pjanic and Dybala could be sacrificed. As for signings, I'm thinking [Matthijs] de Ligt, [Adrien] Rabiot. I have doubts over [Paul] Pogba and I think [Nicolo] Zaniolo is easier to get than [Federico] Chiesa."

Dybala has been strongly linked with Manchester United, while Pjanic is believed to be on Real Madrid's radar.

Juventus conclude their Serie A campaign with games against Roma, Atalanta and Sampdoria over the next three weeks.
