There are no big names available on the market who can possibly replace the Chilean were the Bianconeri to lose their star player so late in the transfer window.
An official offer has still yet to arrive from Manchester United for Arturo Vidal, but if it does, it is simply too late for Juventus to sell their star man and recover from the blow.

Bianconeri CEO Giuseppe Marotta has set an unofficial deadline of August 15 after which the midfielder has been told he will not be allowed to leave the club. Yet even if an offer as high as €60 million is tabled before Friday’s cut-off date, Juventus will not be able to bring in an adequate replacement.

What top players are there in the transfer market who Juventus can realistically buy? The answer is none.

Angel Di Maria’s transfer fee would be higher than Vidal’s and he is demanding a big increase to his €3.5m a season after-tax salary at Real Madrid. Fiorentina will only sell €40m-rated Juan Cuadrado abroad and Juventus simply cannot compete in an auction with a Manchester United or Barcelona.

Mehdi Benatia could potentially leave Roma for a fee upwards of €35m, but there is no chance he would depart to a Scudetto rival. Another marquee name who could be available, Radamel Falcao of Monaco, is way out of Juve’s financial league – and is not needed anyway.

Thus, any replacements for Vidal – direct or otherwise – will be a significant downgrade on the Chilean. Juve may be able to aim higher than current fallback options Adrien Rabiot of PSG and Javier Hernandez of Man Utd (Juve are already working on signing a defender, with Olympiakos' Kostas Manolas the preferred option), but not too much higher because most of the other eligible targets have already been snapped up.
