Transfer Budget: £20.7m, Available Wages: £61k

It comes as no surprise that Juventus boast Serie A's biggest transfer budget this season. They've won the league for five consecutive seasons, and while they're unlikely to challenge for Champion's League glory any time soon, no other Italian side is better equipped for the rigours of Europe.

£20.7m can go a long way in the Italian league, and even though you shouldn't need to spend too much for immediate success, there's room for improvement in Juve's squad. The likes of Chiellini, Dani Alves, and Evra are still quality defenders, but they're getting on in years and Juve's initial budget would be best used on their long-term replacements.
