I might be able to re-sign Dybala in my new Juve save (new database and I had gone basically undefeated in my second season, which was a bit silly...). I think I can bargain him down to 275-300k until 2024 and I'll try and get an optional year in there.
I start with no transfer window at the start so unless someone wanted to make a big offer in January, it does save the headache of replacing alongside any other team-building plans I might have, and he's started well with Vlahovic

No second season blues for my Juventus squad after only 1 real addition to the main squad, with Rovella coming back from loan, Morata staying, Rabiot leaving for 20.5m and Chiellini retiring.
Chiesa and Morata both starting strongly with 3 G 7 A, and 10 G 1A in 7 matches. Dybala came back from his late season broken ankle with 4 G and 4 A in 8 appearances.

Fagioli looks decent, but does not look like he would be a starter for a club like Juve. Soule looks rather disappointing. Koni De Winter looks good and promising. Solberg looks decent - the rest I would say is not much of a talent. The best talent is obviously Rovella who is not home grown
I think the most you can expect is a rotation player from the current academy, they dont look like first team material.
Given Juve's lack of homegrown players at the start, not a bad thing to have one or two homegrown rotation options to add in the medium term!

How about that for a second leg result?! First leg, I had multiple injuries and had to play who could play but I was almost full strength for the return...

Hey sorry if that has been asked before. But just signed Bentancur for my Chelsea side - 3rd season in for £82m, what’s the best way to use him to get the best from him? I’ve also got Mount, Rice and Havertz. Juve used £72m of the £82m to sign Kovavic from me! Thank you.
He's quite versatile, I've mainly used him as a BBM or DLP(D) in central midfield, but he can play deeper as DMC as well. He seems to suit a lot of the roles, so it might be a case of who else you're playing in midfield and what strengths they have.

Well I accepted and kinda regret it now, but there's no way an offer so high would get ever rejected IRL - on a good side I got Bastoni unhappy now! They rejected a 70M offer for him, maybe I will loan Todibo from Barca as a rotation and cover the CB with 34 year old Bonucci till the end of the season, and go full attack for Bastoni in the summer. Another option is Gvardiol, but well its super hard to get someone in the winter, so yeah kinda regret accepting the Demiral offer now
115m is a no brainer imo, you can get someone else to fill that spot easily and it clears a non-EU spot in the squad as well

Unfortunately Donnaruma extended his deal with Milan at the very start of my save so yeah, not likely I will be able to get him. Experiencing issues with Calafiori the same that you have mentioned that's quite a pity. In fact no interesting players with contracts running out on the market. There's Alaba who I would really like - I could sell Alex Sandro gain some money into my budgets which arent great, and have a world class LB before Pellegrini/Calafiori could step in, but despite all my efforts he's not interested in joining Juve, and now considering offers from R Madrid, City, United, Chelsea and PSG. And as of the winter transfer window I have 0 plans as I have 0 Euros available ;). Generally some heavy contracts are really hurting the budgets, should get better in the summer when I will lose Chiellini(end of contract) and after selling Bonucci and hopefully Ramsey.
I'm half way through my first season, and my plans for summer transfer window seem to have changed. The guys I was looking into seem to become too expensive options - Camavinga already has all major clubs sniffing, and it's very unlikely I will be able to match their offers. And my main interest now is Szoboszolai from Salzburg, to strengthen my midfield in the summer, and I'll likely need to buy one CB and ST before the next season, and I really started to consider Zaniolo as a possible Dybala replacement.
League so far has been pretty even exciting - before the 14th fixture I was 2nd a point behind Inter, and point even with Milan in 3rd place. I did play Inter in the 14th matchday, I was 1-2 down but then Barella got sent off and I managed to go for a 3-2 comeback which then rose to 4-2 in 92' minute after they went all in and a fast counter attack did the job. Then Atalanta won vs Inter, and Milan scored 2 draws, and now I'm on the top in front of Milan, Atalanta and Inter (after the loss vs me they havent won a single game), but we're still pretty close to each other. In the Champions League I had a rather smooth experience despite the group wasn't that easy with Atletico, Salzburg and Monchengladbach. But 15 points got me a comfortable 1st place, and now I'm off to face Sevilla in the first knockout stage, interestingly they are the current leaders of La Liga in my save, so I'm expecting a hard game.
From getting through my first proper summer window, be prepared to not be able to shift much of the deadweight. I extended the loans where I could (although weirdly it would only let me do it to the next window, not the whole season), but you might have to just bear with some players at least until contracts expire in 2022. Shame Perin is on so much, otherwise he could hang around as a No.2.
If Madrid are anything like my game, you might be able to snag Asensio on loan cheap. He did a pretty solid job for me, but since I can't shift Bernardeschi I couldn't justify taking on the wages again. Milan might not take up the option on Tonali's loan, so that's one to keep an eye on as well. Eric Garcia might be available to sign on a Bosman if someone hasn't grabbed him.

This fine chap came through in my first youth intake in my typical starting Juventus save. I think my midfield will be alright in the future.

43 league goals! How did you play him?
Complete Forward (Attack) since I found Mandzukic wasn't doing very much as Pressing Forward and moved him out to his wide target man role at AML instead.

Kouyate's physical stats are stronger, that would probably push his star rating higher.
