Chelsea rumours
Juventus are reportedly eyeing up moves for one or more of three Chelsea players this summer, with Brazilian winger Willian the latest to come onto their radar, according to the Daily Mirror.
The Italian giants are seemingly on the lookout for new midfielders this summer, with the Mirror adding that Chelsea are also among the clubs wanting to raid the Serie A champions for their star midfielder this summer – Paul Pogba.
If the French international were to leave Turin, it would clearly leave a big hole in Massimiliano Allegri’s side, which makes his interest in landing one of these three Chelsea stars unsurprising, especially given the Blues’ amazing depth in that department.
Jose Mourinho has often struggled to give opportunities to all his midfielders, which saw Andre Schurrle leave Stamford Bridge for Wolfsburg in January, following on from exits for Juan Mata and Kevin De Bruyne last season.
Another midfielder could now be on their way out, with these three the players reportedly on Juve’s radar:
1) Willian
A hard-working player, but far from the most spectacular, Willian only managed four goals in all competitions last season and is not necessarily guaranteed a starting spot at Chelsea next season. According to the Mirror, he is the latest player on the books at Stamford Bridge to emerge as a target for Juventus in midfield. With Juan Cuadrado knocking on the door out wide, it might not be the worst decision for the club to cash in on the 26-year-old.
2) Oscar
Despite being one of Chelsea’s best players last season, there does seem to be some doubt over Oscar’s future in west London, with Juventus making it clear they would like to sign him. Still, another report in the Daily Mirror suggests the player’s representatives are confident he will not be moving this summer.
3) Mohamed Salah
A talented young winger who can count himself unlucky for not getting more chances at Chelsea, Mohamed Salah is the third name on Juventus’ list this summer after his impressive loan stint in Italy with Fiorentina. The Egyptian international scored 9 goals in the second half of last season, some of which were fine solo efforts that showed his range of dribbling, pace, skill and finishing ability. Still, with so much competition at Chelsea, it makes sense that he could be available this summer and he’d surely be a good buy for Juventus.
