Thanks to Bentancur's growth and development at the Old Lady, Sarri will likely place him high the pecking order. Rabiot, who recently joined in from PSG, has not had much playing time and would need to convince Sarri to play him.

Emre Can and Blaise Matuidi are also capable of Bentancur's position and they would do all they can to increase their minutes.

Pjanic is the player closest to Jorginho at Juventus. With his technical skills in passing and vision, he would be capable of becoming the necessary pivot Sarri needs to make Sarriball work in Turin.

Apart from these qualities, he is also efficient in aiding his team at the back and will look to retrieve the ball and restart the attack.

The third person in the starting midfield trio is Aaron Ramsey. The Welshman is the most attack-minded midfielder the Bianconeri have. His ability to rush down the middle in search for spaces and opportunities makes him a threat to the rest of the Serie A clubs, and Sarri will look to exploit that.

Ramsey is uncanny with possession of the ball, and because he can choose between laying it towards a forward or taking a searing shot himself, opposing teams have to be wary around him. Sarri would love his tenacity, and while other midfielders are available, it is unlikely that they would take a position above Ramsey.
