Juventus turn attention to Willian

Serie A champions Juventus are extremely interested in signing Chelsea winger Willian, according to Darren Lewis from the Daily Mirror.

The 26-year-old is the latest Blues player that Juve boss Massimiliano Allegri is interested in, as he looks to retain the Serie A title next campaign for a fifth consecutive season.

Allegri has already expressed his admiration for the Brazilian’s midfield colleague for both Chelsea and Brazil, Oscar on a number of occasions this summer.

However, the 23-year-olds representatives have stated that the attacking midfielder will not be leaving the club and has no intention to in the future.

Juve are also keen on signing another Blues winger, Mohammed Salah, after the Egyptian impressed in Serie A during his loan spell at Fiorentina for the second half of last season.

Whilst it was expected that Salah would return to Fiorentina next season, after the Italian side paid a fee to extend his loan for a second season, the winger’s agent had this to say yesterday:

“We won’t stay at Fiorentina. We’ll join another Italian club this summer.”

Chelsea are reportedly aware of Juve’s interest in the trio, but there has been nothing to suggest that the Blues will sell their Brazilian stars; though a loan deal for Salah looks likely for next season.

Willian made the £32m move from Anzi Makhachkala two years ago and has since established himself as one of Mourinho’s key players.
