JAKARTA - The Juventus revolution started this summer after Andrea Pirlo was appointed to replace Maurizio Sarri.

The elimination of the Italian champions in the last 16 of the Champions League made Sarri lose his job. To that end, the Old Lady turned to their former midfielder to give him the role of main coach.

Now, according to Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, Juve are planning to release a number of their players to give refreshment to the team. One player has been invited to leave, namely Aaron Ramsey.

Apart from the Welsh midfielder, Pirlo will also sell a number of names. Among others, Sami Khedira, Gonzalo Higuain, Mattia De Sciglio, Douglas Costa, Blaise Matuidi, Alex Sandro, and Daniele Rugani.

Higuain could be the first to pack the suitcase and head to Major League Soccer. DC United have expressed interest in recent weeks, although River Plate are also looking to send their former players home.

Meanwhile, Matuidi has reached an agreement to leave and he will join David Beckham's project at MLS club Inter Miami.

The futures of the rest of the players are very much gaping to leave, but their fate will be determined in the coming days and weeks.

As for the players Pirlo will defend next season, among others, of course, Cristiano Ronaldo. Veteran goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon and defender Giorgio Chiellini will also remain there.

Pirlo's technical staff is also ready to make major changes. Roberto Baronio has been appointed as his assistant, as did Pirlo for the early role he was given with the Under-23 team.

There are also names like Raul Jimenez, Arkadiusz Milik, Edin Dzeko and Alexandre Lacazette have been linked to strengthen Juventus' front line. As well as young Inter Milan players, Sebastiano Esposito and Andrea Pinamonti.
