Juventus have made some premium player sales this century!
Juventus have built a bit of a reputation for themselves as a smart operator in the transfer market, particularly during Beppe Marotta's time in charge.
Sure, there have been some misses as well, but there is no denying that Juventus have been involved in some incredibly profitable deals.
Paul Pogba is probably the ultimate example of such a transfer.
The Frenchman joined Juventus from Manchester United on a free transfer as a promising youngster, and was then sold to his old club again a few years down the line for €105 million.
Profitable indeed!
But who else have the Serie A giants cashed in on over the course of the last two decades or so to fill up their bank account?

Juventus top 10 most expensive player salesGetty Images10Alvaro Morata | €30m / £27m | Real Madrid | 2016
After graduating from Real Madrid's academy in 2013, Morata was promoted to the senior team, where he featured for one season.
In the summer of 2014, Juventus came calling, paying a €20 million (£18 million) fee for the Spaniard, with Real Madrid including a buy-back clause.
Morata shone during his time at Juventus and two seasons later, Madrid paid €30m (£27m) to bring him back to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Further down the line, Madrid offloaded Morata to Chelsea a season later for €66m (£59.40m).
After not settling in at Stamford Bridge, the striker made a loan move to Atletico Madrid in 2019, before signing permanently for them in 2020.
Atletico then loaned him back to Juventus for two seasons and he returned to the Wanda Metropolitano again in 2022.

One of the greatest poachers of his generation, Inzaghi was a breakout star at Atalanta in the 1996-97 season.
Seeing his performances that season – where he scored 25 goals in 34 games – Juventus paid a fee of €10.30 million (£9.27 million) to lure him to Turin.
After four years at Juve, in which he won the Scudetto in his debut season and scored 89 goals in 165 games, Milan opted to pay a hefty fee of €36.15m (£32.54m) for the striker.
Inzaghi attained legendary status at Milan, scoring 126 goals in 300 appearances, winning two Champions Leagues, one FIFA Club World Cup, two Serie A titles, two UEFA Super Cup trophies, one Italian Super Cup and one Italian Cup.
The striker also won the World Cup with Italy in 2006.

After impressing during loan spells at Trapani and Cesena between 2014 to 2016, Juventus signed Caldara from Atalanta in January 2017 for €19 million (£17.10 million), before sending him back on loan to the Bergamo side until the summer of 2018.
Without even making a single appearance for Juventus, he was then sold to Milan in August 2018 for €36.87 (£33.18m).
Caldara barely appeared for Milan in his time there and was loaned back to Atalanta in January 2020.
Milan then loaned him to Venezia in the summer of 2021 and Spezia in 2022.
Getty7Arturo Vidal | €39.25m / £35.33m | Bayern Munich | 2015
After impressing at Bayer Leverkusen for four years, Vidal made the move to Juventus in the summer of 2011 for €12.50 million (£11.25 million).
The Chilean midfielder won four Scudetto crowns, one Italian Cup and two Italian Super Cups with Juventus. Vidal was also voted Player of the Year in 2012/13.
In 2015, Bayern Munich showed an interest in signing him and agreed to pay a fee of €39.25m (£35.33m) for the combative midfielder.
Vidal spent three years at Bayern, before moving to Barcelona and later to Inter. In the summer of 2022, he joined Flamengo on a free transfer.
